Chennai: Late on Monday night, a private container carrying gold jewels worth ₹666 Crore capsized at Chitode near Erode, Tamil Nadu.

The container, owned by a private logistics firm, was transporting the jewels from Coimbatore to Salem. However, when the vehicle approached Samathuvapuram, the driver, Sasikumar, lost control while negotiating a turn, causing the container to overturn.

Both the driver, Sasikumar, and the armed security guard, Balraj, sustained serious injuries in the accident. The Chitode police promptly arrived at the scene, rescued the injured, and admitted them to a nearby hospital.

Fortunately, the gold jewels stored inside the container remained unaffected by the accident. Upon learning about the incident, the consignee and consignor arranged for a new truck and a security guard. They transferred the gold jewels from the overturned container to the new truck and proceeded towards Salem.

The Chitode police have registered a case and are currently investigating the matter.
