Airport gold heist baffles cops

Ahmedabad: City crime branch officials have been unable to find clues in the Rs 2.2 crore gold theft case, even a year after the incident. The gold was stolen from Ahmedabad airport in May 2011. The agency was probing the matter for the last year.
Crime branch officials recently sought to halt investigations for want of evidence.
Police sub-inspector, Kiran Chaudhary, said, "Last week we filed a final summary report of this case."
In May one 10kg parcel went missing from a consignment of 200kg of gold at the air cargo complex at Ahmedabad airport. MMTC Limited, a public-sector unit authorized to import precious metals and stones, had imported the bullion from Singapore. The incident left security agencies shocked as the gold was stolen minutes after customs duty was paid and was set for delivery.
