The Delhi Police on Wednesday brought Lokesh Srivas, the main accused in
the Bhogal jewellery heist
case, to the national capital after a Chhattisgarh court granted transit remand, an officer said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Rajesh Deo said Srivas was brought to Delhi on Wednesday on a three-day transit remand. He will be produced before a metropolitan magistrate on Thursday for police custody.
The accused, who was nabbed on Friday morning, allegedly broke into the south Delhi shop on the night of September 24-25, drilled a hole in the strongroom and decamped with ornaments worth more than Rs 20 crore as well as Rs 5 lakh in cash.
The jewellery shop had several CCTV cameras but they were damaged, according to police.
