Bangalore: A fake abduction drama enacted by a greedy employee of a
private hotel here has led to the busting of an international gold
smuggling racket.
A native of Bangarpet, Arun Kumar (29), who acted as a ‘gold carrier’ for a Chennai-based gold smuggler Mohammed Masood and his associates, had staged an abduction and robbery drama soon after he landed at the Kempegowda International Airport last Monday.
Arun Kumar along with his associates, Harish and Santish ,worked for Masood, who lured people by offering free foreign trips and pocket money in return of smuggling gold biscuits for him.
As per the plan, Arun Kumar’s associates identified as Dwarakanath and Ramamurthy confronted Arun Kumar, Harish and Masood posing as cops and forced them to come for an inquiry. The duo threatened and robbed the valuables before dropping the trio at three locations.
Arun Kumar, who met Masood later, even filed a complaint with Kempegowda International Airport police but concealed information about gold biscuits, but complained that they were robbed of their laptops and Rs.13,000 in cash.
