The audacious heist took place on the night of July 21, when the culprits made away with gold, silver, and cash valued at \u20b92.5 crore. They managed to loot 14 houses within the high-security confines of the refinery township.

Following an intensive two-month investigation, the Chirang Police succeeded in capturing the notorious gang, bringing relief to the refinery\u2019s employees and the larger community. The employees\u2019 union expressed their appreciation for the police\u2019s diligent efforts.
