ALUVA: The police have been searching in the dark in the case where gold over 20 kilos was snatched at Edayar.

Gold that was taken to Edayar CGR Metalloys Pvt. Ltd. was snatched by a two men biker team. As the statements of those in car contradicted others, the police investigation has now been entirely focused on the staff. Meanwhile, the company owner James Jose came to the fore denying the involvement of the staff in the incident. He has also responded to the criticisms raised by the Panchayat authority by saying that the company has been functioning under legal license and by maintaining proper tax record. Subsequently, the investigation team lead by Aluva DySP K.A. Vidhyadharan was enlarged and intensified the probe on the company employees by checking call records. On checking CCTV footage, it was found that the culprits reached the place two hours before the incident.
