In an unusual circumstance in the skies, a ₹33 lakh gold parcel transported from Ahmedabad to Patna has gone missing in thin air.
As per the complaint at the Ahmedabad Airport police station, four months ago, Jagdish Darji, working as a branch manager at a logistics company in the city’s Ellis bridge area, received cargo from a Rajkot-based jeweller containing gold worth ₹33 lakh.
It was scheduled to be delivered to Patna through air cargo.
However, the cargo was not received at the Patna airport.
The theft is suspected to have taken place between the two airports’ cargo. The police have started investigating, probing the airlines as well as the cargo department, based on CCTV footage.
The involvement of air cargo or airline staff is also being suspected.
This delivery was taking place through the flight of Indigo Airlines.
It is noteworthy that Darji’s company frequently transports gold, silver jewellery, and other valuables locally and to other states through air cargo.
