The case was registered as Crime No. 680/2026 at Jawahar Nagar Police Station following a complaint lodged by Murali Mohan Narsipuram, a 68 year old international arbitrator residing at Mohans Golf Enclave in Kowkoor.
The robbery took place on the night of May 11 and triggered a massive investigation by multiple police teams.
Police investigations revealed that the accused, including Nepali nationals Meena and Rajesh, had been working in India for several years and were employed in the Jawaharnagar area.
Seeking easy money, they allegedly conspired with other associates to target affluent houses occupied by elderly residents. The gang reportedly selected the complainant’s residence after identifying that only an elderly couple lived there.
According to investigators, Meena played a crucial role in the conspiracy by facilitating the employment of another accused, Sabeena alias Sunitha, as a housemaid in the victim’s home. Rajesh was introduced as her husband on April 25, 2026.
This allowed the gang to closely monitor the household, study the daily routine of the residents, and identify vulnerabilities before executing the crime.
Police said the accused spent several days observing the family before carrying out the robbery. On May 11, they allegedly used a birthday celebration in the servant quarters as a cover to execute their plan.
At around 8:30 pm, five gang members entered the residence while other accomplices remained outside the gated community to assist in the escape.
The accused allegedly restrained the elderly couple, administered an unknown intoxicating substance that rendered them unconscious, tied their hands and legs using plastic tape and cloth, and threatened them with crowbars.
The gang then broke open almirahs and stole nearly 60 tolas of gold ornaments, around 15 kilograms of silver articles, USD 3,000 in cash, two mobile phones, and other valuable property.
After committing the offence, the accused fled the scene using an auto rickshaw and a scooter.
Investigators later recovered the abandoned scooter near Yapral, which became an important lead in the case. The gang subsequently hired taxis and travelled towards Secunderabad Railway Station with plans to escape from India.
Immediately after the case was registered, the Malkajgiri Commissionerate formed six special teams comprising officers from the Law and Order Wing, Special Operations Team (SOT), and Central Crime Station (CCS).
Investigators analysed technical evidence, conducted scientific examinations of the crime scene, collected field intelligence, and reviewed footage from nearly 255 CCTV cameras.
Search operations were launched across several cities, including Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Lucknow, New Delhi, and locations in Nepal.
Within five days of the offence, police arrested key accused Meena, Rajesh, Daniel Charoh alias Chang, and Kiran. The investigation continued for nearly three weeks to trace the remaining absconding suspects.
Police eventually apprehended all accused involved in the crime. Officials confirmed that Meena, Rajesh, and Kiran are natives of Nepal, while Daniel Charoh belongs to Darjeeling in West Bengal.
Fingerprint Evidence Helped Crack the Case
The investigation also revealed that accused Meena alias Mamatha and Rajesh had previously been involved in Crime No. 78/2023 of Moinabad Police Station in a house breaking by night case.
A major breakthrough came through scientific evidence. Fingerprint experts matched fingerprints recovered from the crime scene with those of accused Meena, providing crucial corroborative evidence and strengthening the case against the gang.
During interrogation, the accused allegedly confessed to their involvement.
Based on their disclosures, police recovered a substantial portion of the stolen property, including gold ornaments, silver articles, and other valuables.
Officials said the successful recovery of stolen property and the arrest of all accused highlighted the coordinated efforts of multiple police units working round the clock.
Mee Suraksha Initiative Strengthened
Following the case, Malkajgiri Police intensified the “Mee Suraksha” initiative aimed at improving security in residential colonies, gated communities, and apartment complexes.
Under the programme, police personnel are conducting door to door verification of domestic workers, housemaids, drivers, caretakers, watchmen, and other household staff.
According to Commissioner of Police B. Sumathi, IPS, police have so far collected and verified details of 39,270 domestic workers across the commissionerate limits. Of these, 1,276 are Nepali nationals.
Police urged residents, especially senior citizens, to verify the credentials of domestic workers before employing them and to cooperate with police verification drives.
Authorities said background verification remains one of the most effective tools in preventing crimes involving household staff and ensuring safer residential communities.
The Commissionerate reiterated that public participation is essential for maintaining security and preventing similar offences in the future.
The “Mee Suraksha” initiative will continue across all residential areas to strengthen community policing and enhance public safety. (Maxim News)
