Gold ornaments weighing 88 gm, valued at around Rs 14.80 lakh, were seized from their possession, an officer said.
At least two unidentified persons intercepted the victim, Husmukh Jain (43) of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, when he and another man were leaving Berhampur railway station after deboarding the Konark Express around 9.30 pm on February 25, the officer said.
“We have identified some more accused persons involved in the loot. They are from outside the state and will be arrested soon,” said Jagannath Mallick, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO), GRP (Khurda).
