Warangal Gold Heist Update: Stolen Gold Sold in Mumbai and UP, Accused Flees to Nepal with Rs 13.61 Crore

Warangal: The recovery of gold ornaments worth Rs 13.61 crore stolen from the State Bank of India (SBI) branch in Rayaparthy Mandal is expected to take longer as one of the keys accused, Sajid Khan, has reportedly fled to Nepal with the stolen booty. The daring heist, which took place on November 18, involved a seven-member gang that looted 19 kg of gold ornaments from the bank.

The police formed ten special teams to capture the robbers, and their efforts led to the arrest of three gang members within two weeks. Authorities also recovered 2.52 kg of the stolen gold, valued at Rs 1.84 crore, from the accused.

In a breakthrough development, the police recently arrested Mohammad Nawab Hasan, the mastermind behind the robbery. During interrogation, Hasan revealed that his brother, Sajid Khan, had escaped to Nepal after selling the stolen gold ornaments. The police suspect the gold was sold to jewelers in various parts of Mumbai and Badaun in Uttar Pradesh.

The investigation has since focused on tracing Sajid Khan’s movements. Sources indicate that he traveled to Nepal with the proceeds from the sale of the stolen gold, passing through Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. A dedicated police team is stationed in Kakrala, Sajid Khan’s native village in Uttar Pradesh, where they gather intelligence on his whereabouts.
