The accused has been identified as Eyakub Mondal.
SP Porvorim Akshat Kaushal said, "On April 27, Nancy Dias (62 years) from Candolim, Goa lodged her complaint that from her house four gold plates were missing. As soon as information was received, the case was registered under section 381 and a special team was formed under the leadership of SDPO Porvorim and led by PI Calangute. After investigation, they came to know that in her house there was a servant who had been working for the last 7 to 8 years and we felt that there was a very high chance that he may have been involved. The location of the suspect was found to be in West Bengal".
