The Government Railway Police (GRP) claimed to have cracked the case of theft of Rs 44 lakh from a locker at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT), just a day after the crime, on Tuesday. An official at Kurla GRP said that two employees of Central Railway have been arrested in the case. "The accused have been identified as Sameer Taharabadkar, 33, and Kumar Pillai, 34. We produced them before a court that has remanded them in police custody till September 28," said an officer attached to GRP, Kurla.

"We have arrested two people and are investigating the case," said Commissioner of Police, GRP, Ravindra Shengaonkar. However, a police officer told mid-day that the accused are not cooperating in the investigation. "They have not revealed how they hatched the plan of theft and where they have kept the money," said the officer, adding that other employees are also under the scanner. A senior officer from Central Railway said, "The two staffers arrested in the crime have been suspended."
