The case of the
theft of 2 kgs of gold at the Abids General Post Office (GPO) signals on Friday that gripped the city especially as the crime took place in proximity to the Abids Police Station, has been solved.
Sunil Reddy, the employee of the Kailash & Co. who lodged a complaint with the police station that gold jewellery was stolen from him, was found to be a partner in the crime.
Upon investigating the case, the police found that the 2 culprits who reportedly snatched the bag containing the yellow metal from Sunil, were his friends. When confronted, the Kailash & Co. employee admitted to his involvement in the crime.
Sunil is currently in police custody, and efforts are reportedly on to nab his 2 accomplices, who seem to have fled the city with the stolen gold.
