MARGAO
The accused from Rajasthan, Sharvan Nath (30) who had fled from Margao with his employer’s gold valued around Rs 53 lakh was finally brought to Margao from Kudal-Maharashtra.
In this case, the Margao police has registered a case of misappropriation against Nath after the owner Sanjay Virdikar lodged his complaint stating that the accused, who was told to collect the gold from the Margao bus stand, fled with the valuables.
The gold, which consists of 15 bars, besides a gold ring and a bracelet, was to be delivered by complainant Virdikar to three city-based goldsmiths. The gold was sent to Virdikar from Mumbai by bus.
Addressing the media, Margao PI Kapil Nayak informed that the accused, after deciding to flee with the gold, headed to Pune, but was intercepted at Kudal by the Kudal police. “We had information that the accused is heading to Pune from Mapusa. Accordingly, we alerted the Kudal police, who intercepted the bus and arrested him,” he said.
The accused was brought to Margao by a police team on a transfer warrant. He has since been remanded to 14 days judicial custody.
