All eyes are now on the Muthoot finance Ranchi if and when it releases the gold and gold contents mortgaged there to the police in Daltonganj. Police are retrieving the stolen gold and gold contents so mortgaged for its legitimate restoration to the victims of the 7 lockers fraud.
The ICICI branch Daltonganj has on Friday released 606.71 grams of gold mortgaged to it by those who did or had complicity in breaking the 7 lockers of United bank of India Daltonganj and stealing all gold and gold contents there in and then mortgaging it with this bank for taking gold loan on it.
Officer in charge of the town police station Daltonganj A K Mahatha has confirmed the receipt of 606.71 gram of gold from ICICI branch Daltonganj where it was mortgaged to by the criminals involved in the breaking of the locker and removing its contents for obtaining gold loan.
The gold so mortgaged is needed for the test identification parade of it before the 7 victims of lockers fraud in United bank of India Daltonganj branch.
SP Palamu Chandan Kumar Sinha said, "We have retrieved some sizeable quantity of gold that was stolen from the 7 lockers and we are trying to have a test identification parade of it but there were two obstacles and it was the mortgaging of gold to two financial institutions the ICICI branch Daltonganj and Muthoot finance Ranchi."
Officer in charge Daltonganj police station Mahatha said the ICICI branch Daltonganj has done a good job and now they believe the Muthoot finance Ranchi will also toe the same cooperative line. Daltonganj police said it has scored well with the ICICI branch by retrieving the mortgaged gold and now they want to make a repeat of it with the Muthoot finance Ranchi, which is being constantly asked to release the mortgaged gold and gold contents in the larger interest of the victims of the 7 lockers fraud in United bank of India Daltonganj.
