Angadia loot case cracked, 6 held

BHAVNAGAR: Six persons were nabbed by officials of Ahmedabad crime branch for their involvement in the Rs 15 lakh angadia loot case in the city on August 22.
On Sunday, Bhavnagar police took custody of them and produced them in a local court, which sent them in remand till September 25.
Police inspector of C-division police station JR Waghela said, "Our investigation led us to suspect this gang from Ahmedabad and so we alerted the crime branch of that city."
Vipul alias Rahul Patel, 25, Piyush alias Pranav Patel, 28, Hitesh Patel, 26, Hiral alias Tino Patel, 30, and Dipak Patel, all residents of Ahmedabad, and Sameer alias Lala Shah, 22, of Ankleshwar were caught."As we have to recover the money and vehicles used, the court granted us remand up to September 25," Waghela added.
These men had called Naresh Patel, employee of Prakash Kantilal Angadia in Bhavnagar, at the new office of their company RK Courier at Ghoghabed Chowk, asking him for payment of Rs 15 lakh to be made in Indore on August 22 evening. Patel reached the courier office at 6 pm and two men started counting the money.
When they finished counting around Rs 3 lakh, one of them put a knife to Patel's throat and told him to call up his Indore office to inform them of receipt of the cash in Bhavnagar. Terrified, Patel did as he was told. Three more men entered the office, tied him up and fled with the money. Police registered a case of cheating and started investigations.
