A four-member gang that abducted a Gulf returnee from Thamarassery is at large even after a three-week-long search by the police. Though the support of the Karnataka Police has also been sought to raid suspected hideouts, there is no clue yet about the four who were reportedly part of an international gang of gold smugglers.
According to police sources, a special squad is still camping in Karnataka to coordinate the search. The police had already tracked the location where the Gulf returnee was kept under custody, they said.
