Gold theft and recovery in Odisha

Overview

In Odisha, Balangir Police recovered 5 kg of gold and silver ornaments following an investigation into an armed robbery. The heist occurred on August 23, when assailants entered the residence of jeweller Phulchand Jain, held his mother at gunpoint, and stole approximately ₹1 crore worth of gold jewellery and cash.

A special task force traced suspects to the Rayagada district, where two individuals were detained in Kharajoda village. Authorities are investigating whether the seized items are connected to the Jain robbery and a recent theft at a local temple, suspecting the involvement of an inter-state or multi-district robbery network.
