Bengaluru-bound Amazon orders worth Rs 18 lakh stolen, 4 held in Haryana
Gurugram (PTI): Four men were arrested in Nuh in Haryana for their alleged involvement in robbing a container full of Bengaluru-bound Amazon orders worth Rs 18 lakh from Karnataka, police said.
The men involved in the theft were allegedly planning to sell the stolen goods in Nuh and Palwal in Haryana, they said. The stolen goods are yet to be recovered.
All four men allegedly involved in the robbery on Friday have been handed over to the Karnataka Police for further probe.
According to police, an FIR was registered in Karnataka on Sunday on the complaint of Rajesh Kumar, an executive of Camions Logistics Solutions Private Limited.
In his complaint, he said the company's vehicle was loaded with Amazon-booked parcels and sent from Mumbai to Bengaluru.
Two drivers of the company, Muwarik and Pankaj Kumar, were driving the vehicle. On the night of October 10, the GPS signal of the vehicle suddenly went off. The company's tracking team traced the location and found the vehicle parked on the roadside near Goraldaku Gate, Hiriyur tehsil in Chitradurga district in Karnataka, he said
When the team reached the spot, Muwarik said Pankaj gave him a cold drink near Belgaum, after which he became unconscious. When he regained consciousness, Pankaj was missing, and the rear portion of the vehicle was found cut open.
It was found that 432 Amazon packets kept in the vehicle, with an estimated value of Rs 18.67 lakh, had been stolen, police said.
Nuh police spokesperson said that a team of the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) nabbed the four men in Tauru area on Tuesday.
They were identified as Salman, Shahrukh, Shokeen -- residents of Mamola village in Palwal; and Tayyab, a resident of Sabras in Nuh.
Police also recovered a truck from their possession, which was used to transport the stolen goods, he added.
"All the accused were handed over to the Karnataka Police team after necessary questioning," the spokesperson of Nuh police said.
Police are working to locate the stolen goods and find out others involved in the theft, he added.

Former minister C M Ibrahim announces to launch new regional party for Karnataka
Kalaburagi: Two years after being expelled from the Janata Dal (Secular), former minister C.M. Ibrahim has announced that he will launch a new regional political party in Karnataka on January 24, reported Deccan Herald.
Speaking at a meeting organised by the Nava Karnataka Nirmana Andolana in Kalaburagi on Sunday, Ibrahim confirmed the birth of the new party.
The 77-year-old politician stated he would soon be meeting with other like-minded individuals to choose a symbol for the party.

Ibrahim emphasised that the organisation would be guided by the principles of 12th-century social reformer Basavanna and the architect of the Indian Constitution, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar.
A veteran politician, Ibrahim served as Union Civil Aviation Minister during the tenure of H.D. Deve Gowda as Prime Minister and later headed the Karnataka unit of the Janata Dal (Secular). He was expelled from the JD(S) in 2023 on charges of anti-party activities.
His exit from the party followed sharp differences over the JD(S) decision to ally with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). As the then state president of the JD(S), Ibrahim had publicly criticised the alliance, claiming it was finalised without his knowledge. He had also reportedly convened meetings of his supporters and expressed support for the INDIA bloc.
