A gang of robbers allegedly made away with 830 kg of human hair worth nearly 1 crore from a godown at Lakshmipura Cross in Bengaluru on February 28.
According to police sources, the victim, 73-year-old Venkataswamy K, has been a veteran in the hair trade. He had relocated his stock from Hebbal to Lakshmipura Cross on February 12. His new storage facility, situated in the basement of a commercial complex, contained 27 bags of processed hair designated for export.
As per Venkataswamy's complaint with the Soladevanahalli police, a group of six culprits reached the godown after midnight in a Mahindra Bolero SUV. They reportedly used iron rods to force open the shutter, hauled out the bags of hair, and loaded them into their vehicle before escaping.
