The Story in Brief
Eleven members of the inter-state 'Korai Gang' were arrested in Gumla district, Jharkhand, on Sunday. Police recovered around 70 grams of gold, 1.5 kg of silver, Rs 1.70 lakh in cash, three country-made firearms and other items from the accused. Gumla Superintendent of Police Harish Bin Zaman said the gang, mostly from Odisha, was behind two major gold robberies at Palkot and Ghaghra. Acting on a tip-off, an SIT led by the Basia SDPO first arrested seven people and then four more after interrogation. Nine of the accused are from Odisha, one from Chhattisgarh and one from Andhra Pradesh. Police are hunting for remaining members.
The Indian Opinion
The Gumla police's action against the Korai Gang is necessary, but don't mistake it for a clean sweep. Some may call the recovery of 70 grams of gold and Rs 1.70 lakh small, yet the gang's reach across three states signals deeper organised crime. Others will hail the arrests as a victory; the real test is whether the investigation traces stolen goods to buyers and nabs the gang's leaders still on the run.
