According to Malkajgiri DCP Rakshitha K Murthy, following a series of burglaries, nine special teams were deployed to track and nab the burglars. While the search was on, Amar and Lalith were caught by the crime team at Mallapur, and during frisking, officials recovered a gold necklace from them.

“They were caught near a jewelry shop, and during questioning, they gave vague replies which led to strong suspicion. They were brought to the police station and interrogated, where they confessed the necklace was stolen,” Murthy said, adding that based on their confession, other suspects were picked up from Mallapur. The gang was involved in four burglaries in Nacharam so far this year. They had sold the gold at local goldsmiths and used the money, officials said. They were produced before court and remanded in judicial custody.
