Cyberabad Police have intensified the hunt for the four-member gang that looted 46 kgs gold ornament from the office of the Muthoot Finance in the outskirts of Hyderabad posing as the officials of Central Bureau of Investigation.
Cyberabad Police Commissioner Sandeep Shandaliya said that the police were suspecting the involvement of a gang of conmen from Karnataka and CCTV footage of traffic at various exit points were being analysed to identify the getaway vehicle. The police have issued the sketches of four suspects and sought the help of the people in nabbing them. “16 Special teams are at work to trace them”, Shandaliya said.
The teams were carrying out searches at Gulbarga in Karnataka and some places in Maharashtra. The police have also not ruled out the hand of some insider in committing the crime.
The audacity of the conmen has created a sensation in the city who copied the famous Akshay Kumar starrer movie “Special 26” in carrying out the major heist at Beeramguda under Ramachandrapuram Police station in Sangareddy district adjoining Hyderabad.
This is the second time Muthoot Finance company has been targeted in this manner. 5 kgs of gold ornaments were looted from another office of the company in 2015 and the case was still unresolved.
