Nagpur, Aug 31: Coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown which was enforced due to it has crippled the world economy. People have been trying to stay afloat amid job losses which continue to be on the rise. This financial crisis that is brought on by the coronavirus outbreak has landed two aspiring businessmen on the wrong side of the law.

The businessmen identified as Monish Dadlani (27) and Vivek Sevak Gumnani (22) were arrested on Saturday by the Nagpur police for theft of two-wheelers. The police recovered 10 two-wheelers worth over Rs 3 lac from their possession, Sadar police station inspector Mahesh Bansode said on Sunday.

After their businesses tanked due to the pandemic, the duo began stealing two-wheelers as they struggled to pay back their loans, he said.

While Dadlani owned a cloth manufacturing unit, Gumnani used to arrange tours.
