Ahmedabad: <\/b><\/p>\n
Two men allegedly posing as officials of the Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) abducted and robbed a man of two gold capsules, worth Rs 50 lakh, which he had smuggled into the country from Dubai, police said on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The complainant, Danish Sheikh, informed the police that he flew to Dubai on October 9 at the behest of his acquaintance in Vadodara who arranged for his tickets and accommodation and paid him Rs 20,000 to smuggle gold, an official said.<\/p>\n
Sheikh allegedly concealed two gold capsules in his rectum and landed at Ahmedabad airport in the early hours of October 28, he said.<\/p>\n
After completing immigration formalities, the complainant walked to the airport’s parking lot to a van sent by his acquaintance to take him to Vadodara, the official said.<\/p>\n
As per the first information report (FIR), two men approached the van claiming to be ATS officials as he was about to get into the vehicle, which had a driver and an acquaintance of his.<\/p>\n
The duo threatened the complainant saying they knew everything about the smuggled gold, and asked him to accompany them to the ATS office, it stated.<\/p>\n
The accused drove the van along with the victim and the other two occupants and took it to an isolated place, where they asked him to get into a car, leaving the others behind.<\/p>\n
The car was then driven to a high-rise building and Sheikh was taken to a flat on the 10th floor, where he was thrashed and forced to take out the gold capsules that were concealed in his rectum, the FIR stated.<\/p>\n
The duo took gold capsules weighing 850 gm and worth Rs 50 lakh, and some cash from the complainant and took him to a bus station in an autorickshaw and dropped him off.<\/p>\n
An FIR has been registered against unidentified persons under sections of the Indian Penal Code pertaining to voluntarily causing hurt during robbery, abduction, criminal intimidation, and personating a public servant, he said.<\/p>\n
There was a delay in reporting the offence as the complainant was scared to approach the police, and investigations were underway, police sub-inspector R H Pandav said.<\/p>\n
