“The driver, Masru Rabari, and his accomplice, Prempal Singh Devda, were taken into custody from Jalore district in Rajasthan,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Rajesh Kumar Tripathi told reporters here.

He said Rabari (25) worked as a driver for Ahmedabad-based jeweller Dharmendra Jayantilal and had been tasked with carrying ornament samples to different locations.

On July 9, Rabari allegedly fled from Indore with two bags containing 4.8 kg of ornaments when the trader’s accountant had stepped out for a haircut, Tripathi said.

After fleeing with the valuables, Rabari was staying with Devda (28) in a rented accommodation in Jalore, where police later recovered the ornaments concealed inside the seat of their car, the DCP said.
