Police follow CCTV trail, crack Rs 3.70-crore gold heist at Nadiad station in 24 hours

On October 3, a bag containing gold worth over Rs 3 crore disappeared from the Nadiad railway station, prompting a rapid response from the police. Within 24 hours, CCTV footage at a railway station foot overbridge led investigators to a Rs 3.70-crore gold haul in Viramgam. A former railway employee and three others were arrested, and the stolen goods recovered.

This incident is part of a broader trend, with the Western Railway’s Vadodara division highlighting that CCTV surveillance has helped uncover 55 cases of passenger-property theft in 2026, with a total of 68 accused handed over to the Government Railway Police and stolen property worth Rs 3.83 crore recovered.
