A fake CBI raid at the time of demonetization? It was indeed a master plan by the five dacoits who posed as CBI officers come to investigate false accounts and robbed jewellery worth more than 12 crores in broad daylight from the Muthoot Finance branch in Ramachandrapuram in the outskirts of Hyderabad. The five dacoits came in a red Scorpio vehicle around 9.00 a.m, easily gained entry into the ill-guarded bank by identifying themselves as officials from the CBI and the RBI . The bank employees were just settling in their seats when the theft occurred. The whole operation took only 20 minutes for the dacoits.
Lone watchman with only a stick was guarding the huge amount of gold inside
Another shocking revelation is that only one watchman, armed with nothing more than a stick was guarding the huge amount of gold (42 kg of gold and cash)inside Muthoot Finance branch. This is inspite of the fact that many banks and ATM centres have been targeted by robbers in the past few days, thanks to the demonetization chaos that has set in. Just two days back, unidentified gangs looted the branches of Manappuram Gold Finance Company and Muthoot Finance company in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
An inside job ?
Police in hot pursuit
Before leaving, they broke the CCTVs and took away the memory backup of the branch. Along with the gold they also took Rs 1 lakh in cash. Sniffer dogs and CLUES (detective) teams were pressed into service and police of teams from Cyberabad and Sanga Reddy district have begun vehicle checking on all important roads.
But the five man army seems to be ahead of the police already.
