Belagavi Police Coordinate With Nashik SIT on Alleged Rs 400-Crore Chorla Ghat Heist

Karnataka will register a case only on concrete evidence, officials say.

Overview

  • Nashik police have registered a case, arrested six suspects, and formed a Special Investigation Team led by the Additional Superintendent of Police to verify the cash-robbery claim.
  • Belagavi SP K Ramarajan says no FIR has been filed in Karnataka due to the absence of concrete evidence or a direct complaint.
  • A Belagavi team from Khanapur and Nandgad is in Nashik to gather details and coordinate with Maharashtra investigators, with daily updates to district leadership.
  • The complaint in Nashik links the matter to an October 22 kidnapping and assault of Sandeep Datta Patil, whose abductors accused him of involvement in a robbery said to have occurred on October 16.
  • Investigators are probing claims that two container trucks carried demonetised ₹2,000 notes worth ₹400 crore, while the exact location in the tri-state Chorla Ghat area remains unclear and jurisdiction may lie with either state under BNSS provisions.
