Days after a worker of a jewellery hallmark testing and printing company in Borivali decamped with gold ornaments worth Rs 21.5 lakh, the Vanrai police caught two accused in the case from a Naxalite area in Jharkhand. The cops have recovered only 70% of the stolen jewellery, which is worth R13.89 lakh. A manhunt has been launched to nab the third accused, who has the remaining booty.

The arrested accused have been identified as Pradeep Kumar Yadav and Jiten Murmu. Acting on a tip-off, a Vanrai police team led by sub-inspector Prashant Sable went to Yadav's native place in Jharkhand and arrested him along with Murmu. During interrogation, the accused revealed that a third person, Mukesh Yadav, had the rest of the jewellery. Both the accused were remanded in police custody till April 3.
