Two labourers, working in Mumbai for several months as carpenters, stole gold ornaments from the house they were working at and buried the gold inside one of their houses in their native village Amreli in Gujarat. The Kandivli police have arrested the duo and recovered the gold worth more than Rs 4.75 lakh.

Police sources said the accused, Dilip Parmar and Punkajkumar Meena, were also retiling the floor at Shankar Pujari’s house in Kandivli West. They had allegedly stolen the jewellery from Pujari’s cupboard.
