Goutham approached the Vijayawada GRP police station and informed inspector P. Kanaka Rao. GRP crime team members, Railway Protection Force personnel and RPF Crime Intelligence Branch staff examined evidence and footage from nearly 50 CCTV cameras covering about 10 km.
The investigation led police to Lakku Chinakasayya of Old RR Pet in Vijayawada. Police recovered the entire cash amount and the approximately two-gram gold-plated wristwatch from him.
On Sunday, inspector Kanaka Rao handed over the valuables to Goutham at the GRP police station.
