Hyderabad: Six Nepali nationals, including a woman, who were allegedly involved in a series of burglaries, were caught in a joint operation by the Malkajgiri Central Crime Station team and Nacharam police on Wednesday. Police recovered cash, gold and silver ornaments and gadgets, all together worth Rs 13.2 lakh from them.
The arrested persons were Amar Bahadur (32), an electrician from Mallikarjuna Nagar in Mallapur, Lil Bahadur Kami alias Lalith (37), a security guard, Ram Bahadur (21), a construction worker, Ashok Karan Singh Khane alias Ashok (39), a security guard, Vishwa Karma Sagar alias Sonu (28), a fast food centre worker and Jahnavi (32), a housekeeper, all residents of Mallapur.
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.
