Rohitpuri Goswami, who works for H Pravinkumar angadiya firm, had boarded a state transport bus to deliver the ornaments in Bhuj. When he got down for tea at a highway hotel near Maliya, two of the accused who were following him as co-passengers, picked up the bag and escaped. Goswami saw them taking away the bag and shouted for help, but they fled in a car that was following the bus.
