Overview
- Bihar-based accused leader Subodh Singh was transferred to Karimnagar on a Prisoner Transit warrant, produced before a magistrate, and remanded to judicial custody while police seek a week of custody for questioning.
- Police say the PMJ jewellery robbery involved gunfire, the thieves stole about ₹82.02 lakh in gold and four employees suffered non-fatal bullet wounds while trying to resist.
- Three alleged gang members, including prime accused Raghunath Karmakar (alias Jagira Singh), Ravish Kumar and Mehtab Khan, were arrested earlier and produced in court on May 14.
- Authorities say the operation was directed from jail and required permissions from multiple courts to move the suspect; investigators formed special teams and are still hunting other suspects.
- Officials link the group to robberies across states such as Bihar and West Bengal and say questioning Singh could help trace the stolen jewellery and map the gang’s wider network.
