Kasargod, Sep 9: Kasargod police led by DySP P P Mohanchandran on Monday September 8 arrested a man for allegedly robbing over Rs one crore from a person in Bahrain.
The accused is identified as A Fazal (27), a resident of Anangur, Tippunagar. Two more people who were involved in the robbery have also been taken into custody in Trissur.
Fazal is accused of throwing chilli powder into the eyes of Sajeer (28) from Mallapuram, who resides in Bahrain, and taking away 60,000 dinars (over Rs one crore) from him. Sajeer is an accountant in the company run by Abdul Ghafoor, also of Mallapuram.
The incident had occurred on August 1 in Bahrain this year, when Sajeer was taking the money in his vehicle to deposit it with a money transfer agency, sources said. He was shifted to a hospital soon after the incident.
A complaint was lodged with the Bahrain police. Though the police had arrived in Kasargod, they could not arrest the accused. Ghafoor had then complained to the Kasargod police who arrested Fazal and his accomplices.
