Hyderabad: Cyberabad police believes the robbers from the Muthoot gold heist may have crossed the border to Nepal. Officials say the gang split up to evade search parties.
“The gang have split up and a few might be in Nepal now. They have mostly used trains to evade search parties. But we have alerted concerned agencies,” a senior official from Hyderabad police said.
Karnataka police has also joined the investigation as teams there have been probing similar robberies that took place in Kalburgi and Gulbarga in the recent past. Officials say the Muthoot gold heist has striking similarities to a various robbery that took place in Kalburgi last year - where Rs 3 crore in gold was stole. On Wednesday, the five-member gang pulled off the biggest gold heist in Telangana state’s history by stealing 40 kilos in gold.
