“He used to park his motorcycle a few hundred metres away from the house and used to walk to the place. After the crime, either by removing the iron grills of the window or breaking the main door of the house, he used to steal valuables and escape,” Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat said.

He was involved in three cases in Rachakonda, eight in Cyberabad and 10 cases in Hyderabad. The police had invoked the PD Act against him in 2018, but after being released, he resumed burglaries and was last arrested by the Adibatla police in 2019.

Khaja Pasha, who purchased the stolen goods from Khan, was also arrested. The police recovered 10 mobile phones and a bike from him.
