Four special teams of the Theni police together solved a murder case and recovered cash amounting to ₹22 lakh, which was allegedly stolen from a victim, and the key accused was arrested, said Superintendent of Police Sai Saran Tejaswi, on Monday. He had last left his office in the forenoon, three days ago, to go to the bank to withdraw ₹22 lakh in cash on instructions from his employer. Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Tejaswi said that Arunkumar was found dead on the Theni-Periakulam highway and according to the initial inquiry, the cash was missing. There was absolutely no clue, as the body was lying on the highway and his phone was found near his two-wheeler. Tracking the calls received and made from the victim’s mobile phone, the police teams zeroed in on the suspects.
