Police officer, three others arrested for snatching gold
Malda (WB): Four persons, including a junior police officer and a civic volunteer were arrested in connection with the snatching of one-and-half-kg gold valued at Rs 50 lakh, the police said on Tuesday.
All the four were produced before a local court on Tuesday and remanded to police custody for six days.
The snatching had reportedly taken place here in May, 2019 when the yellow metal was allegedly being taken to Kolkata from Malda, the police said.
A verbal complaint was lodged with the Malda police after the incident but the written one was submitted six months later in November that year. The police investigation was launched after it, the police said.
Malda superintendent of police Alok Rajoria said the time gap between the verbal complaint and lodging of the written one had created suspicion and led to the arrest of the assistant sub-inspector of police, the civic volunteer and two others.
The police said the investigations have revealed that the incident was preplanned by a Kolkata-based businessman, who was himself present during the alleged snatching and had even lodged the complaint.
The businessman was among those arrested, the police added.

Sunil Narine's ton goes in vain as Jos Buttler's unbeaten century guides Rajasthan Royals to victory
Kolkata, Apr 16: Rajasthan Royals pulled off the Indian Premier League's biggest run chase to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by two wickets here on Tuesday.
Asked to bat first, KKR rode on Sunil Narine's 56-ball 109 to post 223/6 in the allotted 20 overs.
In reply, RR were in all sorts of trouble at one stage but Jos Buttler blasted his way to an unbeaten 60-ball 107, as the visitors completed the chase in the last ball of the match.
After his team was asked to bat first on a fresh pitch, Narine blazed away to a 49-ball 100 to lead KKR's charge in this top-of-the-table clash at Eden Gardens.
It was a one-man show from KKR as Narine (109 off 56) batted till the 18th over, first stitching 85 runs with Angkrish Raghuvanshi (30) and then adding 51 runs with Andre Russell (13).
However, Buttler had other ideas as he did the job for RR from an extremely difficult position.
Brief scores:
Kolkata Knight Riders: 223/6 in 20 overs (Sunil Narine 109; Avesh Khan 2/35).
Rajasthan Royals: 224/8 in 20 overs (Jos Buttler 107 not out; Sunil Narine 2/30).
An Impactful Innings 😍
