SAMBA, July 19: District Police Samba has managed to recover the gold ornaments weighing 18.8 tolas which were stolen from the house of one Rajinder Kumar S/o Khairati Lal R/o Karalian, Ramgarh.
According to police, a case under FIR No. 50/2013 u/s 457/380 RPC was registered at P/S Ramgarh in this regard. The gold was today found in a polythene bag in the cattle pond from the house of complainant i.e. Rajinder Kumar.
Israr Khan IPS, SSP Samba at a press conference today said that he had personally supervised this case as there were lot of rumors going on this district and adjoining districts regarding the presence of gang of thieves from outside. He said after thorough investigation police has reached the conclusion that the theft was an insider’s job. The further questioning will reveal the motive behind this so called theft which in fact was just an insider’s job.
SSP Samba further disclosed that besides this theft one more small theft had taken place in past 02 months at Rakhambtali, Samba which again looks like a hoax as no one could steal only gold ear rings in the pitch darkness and leave the artificial ornaments behind. Police is concentrating on the family and it will question the girl who was sleeping in the room and had also kept the main door open in the night for facilitating the thieves, if ever it has taken place.
The girl has got herself admitted in the hospital and therefore it is not possible for Police to make inroads in the said investigation for the time being. Police is also looking the call records of the family to ascertain the truth.
He said after solving this theft, there is no other major theft case pending investigation in the district of Samba.
However the local villagers turn down the police theory saying that a lady from the house had seen some stranger coming near the cattle pond during late last night.
They said in the morning people saw the bag with gold lying in the pond and they informed the local Sarpanch who in turn informed the police which took the bag in its custody.
