Two arrested for gold theft

The case was registered by the police after the company,which finances loan against gold,discovered that 300 grams of gold were missing from the office.

“The key for the safe,in which the gold is kept,was either with Vishwa Ranjan Sahu or the manager of the company. Sahu,who is originally from Orissa,and Venkat,from Kerala,will be produced in court on Saturday,” said a police officer,adding that Sahu had told them that Venkat duplicated the keys to the safe to commit the theft.

The officer added that while the duo sold a share of the gold in Delhi,the rest was handed over by Sahu to his brother,who took it to Orissa.
