The links of the dacoity on the house of industrialist Santosh Laddha in Bajajnagar have reached to the gold man in Nanded. The sources informed that they melted around 20 tolas of gold and sold it in Nanded’s gold market. Meanwhile, a country-made pistol was seized from the house of accused Yogesh Hajbe.

The crime branch squads launched search operations in Ambajogai and Nanded for the past two days.
