Jamshedpur: Police have successfully solved the daring robbery that took place at MB Jewellers near Airport Bazar in the Sonari police station area. The crime, which occurred on June 24th, was executed amid tight security just a day before the elections, creating a significant stir in the community.

The operation led to the arrest of four suspects involved in the robbery. Authorities successfully recovered looted gold, weighing approximately 431.73 grams in its melted form, along with Rs 50,000 in cash. The police also seized a carbine with two magazines, three pistols, and 17 cartridges from the criminals.

Under the directive of SSP Kishore Kaushal, an SIT (Special Investigation Team) led by City SP Mukesh Lunayat was formed to crack the case. The diligent efforts of the SIT bore fruit, leading to the arrest of four criminals from Palamu district.

The arrested individuals, identified as Rishiraj alias Mitthu Soni, Govinda Paswan, Rahul Sharma, and Abhishek Gupta, are all residents of the Chainpur police station area in Palamu. The police have recovered crucial evidence from the suspects, including the motorcycle used in the robbery.

Additionally, the SIT recovered the melted looted jewelry, which had been concealed in Baksha Gali, Tirul Road, Ranchi. Further investigation led to the discovery of a carbine and two pistols hidden in Tharpakhna, Ranchi.

The police have revealed that two more individuals are involved in the robbery, and efforts are underway to apprehend them.

According to the police, the criminals chose MB Jewellers for the robbery due to its strategic location on the main road, facilitating a quick escape route via Marine Drive. After committing the robbery, they reportedly fled to Ranchi, where they melted the stolen jewelry and stored their weapons before dispersing.

A significant breakthrough came when the police recovered a bag in Ranchi containing the weapons and melted jewelry. The criminals also admitted to another major robbery in Garhwa district, further highlighting their extensive criminal activities.

As investigations continue, the police are confident of soon apprehending the remaining suspects, bringing full closure to this high-profile case.
