Cyberabad Police today arrested two employees of a cargo service company and recovered 4.8 kg of gold ornaments, worth Rs 1.20 crore, which they allegedly stole from the terminal at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) here last month.
V Manoj Kumar and A Satyanarayana Raju, both employees of Royal Express Cargo Pvt Ltd at Begumpet here, were arrested on charges of stealing one consignment of parcel containing gold and jewels on February 7, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shamshabad Zone) A R Srinivas said.
"They used to look after the cargo bookings and receiving the parcels from other cities. With their experience, they were aware that gold is also being sent through cargo from various cities. On February 7, a consignment of 132 parcels came by a private airlines from Kolkata.
