Two cops among 6 held for Rs 5cr jewellery heist in Mumbai

The arrested accused, along with their associates who are still absconding, followed the car in two hired taxis.



The car was approaching a flyover in suburban Bandra when the taxis overtook and stopped the vehicle on the pretext of speeding and rash driving, police said.

The accused, led by the two cops, asked the four to come to Kherwadi police station for questioning. The accused then fled in the car along with the booty, police said.

Those arrested were charged with robbery, criminal conspiracy, wrongful restraint, among other offences.
