MUMBAI: In a daring daylight robbery, four men posing as policemen from Delhi crime branch, blocked a car in the middle of the road in Sion, abducted an employee of a jeweller from Hyderabad carrying gold ornaments weighing around 2kg and diamonds worth Rs 2.6 crore, drove the car to Bhiwandi and fled with the booty.
On Tuesday, robbers posing as angadias (couriers) fled with Rs76 lakh from Pydhonie in South Mumbai. Police are yet to arrest them.
Sion police registered an offence of kidnapping, robbery and crime branch and other police teams are doing parallel investigations.
Police said Hariram Ghotia, who works for jeweller Santosh Nardi from Hyderabad, alleged that they were coming to Mumbai by a luxury bus carrying their employer’s gold ornaments and diamond jewellery worth Rs2.6 crore. As usual they alighted from the bus at Sion Circle, where a Innova used to ferry them to clients. Ghotia said that they used to regularly carry raw gold from Hyderabad, make jewellery out of it from artisans in Mumbai, and return to Hyderabad.
“Ghotia said that they were about to sit in their car to go to BKC when another car blocked his car, two people got off, and told Ghotia they were from Delhi crime branch, and they want to check what they were carrying. When Ghotia informed them that it was valuables, they told them to accompany them with the jewellery and documents,” said an officer.
