ஓட்டைய போட்டு ஆட்டைய போட்டுட்டாங்கடா சாமி !!!
 
hi

திருடனாக திருத்தாதவரை திருட்டை ஒழிக்க முடியாது ....
 
The CBCID folks have taken over the investigation from Railway Police..I am pretty sure that the criminals would be caught soon
 
Now do not book top berths in railway trains.

No safety of luggage in top berth due to cut outs on top
hi

if u keep ur luggage bottom of the seat.....next morning ...it wont be there even IN A/C compartments...
 
The manner in which this loot is committed is quite shocking. Whosoever has committed this crime, are definitely well trained, technologically advanced. They had the information for sure in which coach to attack clearly indicated some insider hand. Cutting the roof of a running train needs some expertise which makes this incidence further shocking. They have further sorted the notes, the good ones from the soiled ones as suggested by the report and escaped without any suspicion is quite un imaginable. Law enforcement faces stiff challenge ahead.
 
No CCTV's in stations (Salem & Erode) is also hindering investigation..May be the culprits were hiding inside the compartment & then using sophisticated tools cut open the roof & escaped

The sheet is pulled inside..Obviously someone was hiding inside
 
As per polimer news the high profile investigation team has already traced one of the currency containers part near Vridhachalam...Some UP workers working in Tirupur are on radar...Some calls were made to Jharkhand...Hope to see some arrests soon!
 
Without the help of insiders, it is very difficult to cut open . From outside it is quite impossible to drill or do cutting. Definitely it is the handiwork of well trained outsourced insider , who might have been inside with the connection of Robbery Protection Force(RPF)
 
In a new twist to the investigation the Police who were guarding the bogey at Chennai are under radar! Hope to see the culprits nailed
