Four held for ₹75 lakh robbery, murder committed in 2018 Updated: Updated: Share Article AAA It took the police a little over two years, but they finally tracked down and arrested a gang of four taxi drivers who allegedly murdered a van driver and stole ₹75 lakh that he was transporting for a cash management company. With their arrest, the police have solved the November 2018 murder of Abdul Shahid, 30. “The Govindapura police received a tip-off about the prime accused Kumar N., a former driver with another cash management company,” said S.D. Sharanappa, DCP (East). Kumar, who was well versed with how cash management firms operated, befriended Shahid in 2018. He along with his associates — Prasanna M.B., 31, from Mysuru, Madhusudhan, 23, from Mandya, and Mahesh U., 22, from Andhra Pradesh — offered Shahid ₹5 lakh if he teamed up with them. They allegedly convinced him to steal the cash box in the van while the guards were refilling the ATM.
