Four men, including a craftsman, were arrested in connection with the theft of gold worth nearly Rs 50 lakh from a jewellery workshop in Chowk earlier this month, police said on Thursday.
The stolen items — semi-finished ornaments weighing 563.18 grams — were recovered from the suspects’ possession, according to ADCP (West) Dhananjay Singh Kushwaha.
The arrests were made near Hussainabad Inter College following a tip-off. The accused have been identified as:
Anil Chaudhary (24) of Wazirganj
Yasir Hussain (27) of Sheesh Mahal
Mohammad Mazhar (30) of Hussainabad
Umesh Kannaujia (32) of Madiaon
ADCP Kushwaha said the main accused, Anil Chaudhary, had been working as a craftsman at the complainant’s jewellery shop for the past three to four years. On August 4, he allegedly fled with around 700 grams of semi-finished jewellery.
Police investigations are ongoing, and further details about the network or possible accomplices are being examined.
