Railway Protection Force, probing the Rs 5.75 crore train heist, has formed several special teams to investigate the matter, a top official said.

"CB-CID which is investigating the case is cooperating with us. We have formed special teams in Chennai, Salem and Tiruchirapalli divisions to probe the incident," RPF's Additional Divisional Security Commissioner V Govindarajan told reporters.

RPF is probing the case along with CB-CID.

"We are looking at all angles. CB-CID teams are cooperating well. We will nab the culprits," he said after meeting top CB-CID officials here.

Robbers had cut through the roof of the coach booked by Reserve Bank of India to transport money from Salem, and escaped with about Rs 5.75 crore. The heist had come to light after the train reached Chennai on August 9.
