A heist case is that criminal case which has been unsolved till date.
I am going to write about a heist case which happened in 1987 in Mumbai, i.e 29 years ago.
I am going to write about a heist case which happened in 1987 in Mumbai, i.e 29 years ago.
Conman who stole USD $1 lac in 1987 is still untraceable
which is shameful & wasn't dis not fully investigated?
1.) A conman in my country (India) came to Mumbai on March, 1987 and entered an ad on newspaper asking for 50 dynamic candidates for a post of CBI govt officers (Central Bureau of investigation).
2.) After selecting 28 of them, he handed them fake government ID cards and asked them to accompany them to raid a jewellery shop, while stopping for a refreshment at a beach for cold drinks and snacks.
3.) After entering the jewellery shop he asked the owner to close down the CCTVs, disconnect phone lines and collected all the suspicious ornaments and cash amounting to about Rs. 35 lacs (USD $ 1,10,062 in those days and today the value would be USD 53,030) after flashing another fake search warrant.
4.) He asked the 28 people to guard the shop while he excused himself that he had to go for another raid.
5.) AFTER THAT HE DISAPPEARED...WITH THE CASH AND JEWELLERY.
When he did not return for 4 hours, police was called, they investigated and found out that:
1.) He had booked a room in Taj Hotel and said that he came from south Indian state of Kerala, Trivandrum.
2.) When Hotel authorities had refused to allow him to hold interviews, he rented an office nearby.
3.) After disappearing with the booty from the shop, he had booked a Taxi from hotel and got down near Vile Parle in Mumbai, and after that got into Auto (another rented transport vehicle but of low cost), FROM WHERE HE FINALLY DISAPPEARED FOREVER.
Now, perfect crime rarely or doesn't exist. This person is still untraceable since 1987, i.e. since 26 years. The police did search for him but by useless and indefinite methods, like informers and the address given in hotel which was likely to be fake.
1.) The police could have drawn his sketch, collected initial footage of the CCTV as he must have taken time to switch off the CCTV after entering.
2.) They could have even made out that he probably went to the Airport as the Mumbai International Airport is just about 2 Kms from Vile Parle where he was last seen. From Airport, lot of details could be availed and if he went abroad, then a lot more as going abroad requires passport with affixed photograph.
3.) They could have also asked people from all over Mumbai by inserting ad or whatever that they required photos clicked on beach that day when he paused there with his staff for refreshments.

NOW, IS THIS PERFECT CRIME NOT A RESULT OF HALF-HEARTED INVESTIGATION?
