Addressing a media conference at the office of the Superintendent of Police in Bidar on Friday after visiting the scene of the crime in front of the head office of State Bank of India at Chhatrapati Shivaji Circle in the city, Mr. Harishekaran said that the Bidar police had formed eight teams to nab the culprits.
“Our Crime Department police and the teams formed to nab the culprits worked in coordination. They have worked on the Call Detail Record (CDR) and the CCTV footage to track the movements of the robbers. The Maharashtra and Telangana police have cooperated with us to crack the case. The case is almost solved. Our team has already been dispatched to Hyderabad to nab the culprits,” Mr. Harishekaran said. He added that the police had gathered information about the involvement of the culprits in similar crimes in the past.
“The Maharashtra and Telangana police cooperated with us on the case. We had formed eight teams to nab the culprits who shot dead the cash management staff and made away with the cash. The teams were sent to Kalaburagi and Hyderabad. Two of the accused were planning to book travel tickets in Hyderabad. Our team members were in the travel agency monitoring the movements of the accused. However, the accused became suspicious and opened fire on the manager of the travel agency,” Mr. Harishekaran said.
To a question, the officer said that the operation to nab the culprits was still on in association with the Hyderabad police and expressed confidence that they would be nabbed shortly. Inspector General of Police (Northern Range) Ajay Hilory was present.
