The Koyilandy police have successfully cracked the case of a cleverly orchestrated robbery involving ATM cash logistics. On Monday, it was revealed that the incident, initially reported two days prior, was in fact a scheme plotted by the complainant himself and two accomplices.

The crime witnessed a bizarre twist when it was discovered that the supposed victim was instrumental in executing the plan. Police reports indicated that the complainant, who was responsible for transporting cash to ATMs, faked an attack using chilli powder as a diversion.

Contradictions in his statement, including claims of being assaulted by masked assailants, led police to further investigate, uncovering the truth. Currently, one of the accomplices has been arrested, and two individuals, including the complainant, are in custody for further questioning.
