A special squad of Kerala police are headed to West Bengal to nab the remaining eight members of a gang accused of carrying out violent robberies in Kochi, believed to be hiding on the West Bengal-Bangladesh border.

The robberies occurred last month and Kochi police suspect that Noorkhan, a resident of Delhi, who is believed to have masterminded the robberies, has fled to Bangladesh. Three members of the gang have been nabbed in Delhi.

Since they had destroyed most of the SIM cards used and fled in different directions, police were finding it difficult to track members of the gang. However, the police confirmed that at least some members of the gang had fled to Bangladesh. Kerala Police will coordinate with Border Security Force (BSF) to trace their route.
