According to the police, the accused snatched a gold chain from Smt. Surekha Auradkar (69) near her residence close to Devi Theatre, Chikkadpally.
The incident occurred when the victim was returning home from shopping. The offender attacked her near the apartment lift, forcibly removed her gold chain, and caused a minor neck injury before fleeing the scene.
Based on credible information, police teams apprehended Bramaiah near Sahara Bakery, Ashok Nagar.
During interrogation, he confessed that he resorted to the crime due to financial distress after suffering business losses and taking loans for his daughter’s marriage.
He admitted to watching online videos to learn chain-snatching techniques.
Police investigations revealed that Bramaiah handed over the stolen gold to his wife Anjali, who later mortgaged it at Manappuram Finance, Kukatpally Branch, for ₹1,13,000.
A broken gold chain weighing 4.6 grams, another chain weighing 14.35 grams, an OPPO mobile phone, and a paper-cutting blade were recovered from their possession.
Officials said the accused had earlier attempted chain snatching in Sultan Bazaar and other areas but failed due to public presence.

Raju Naik, Inspector, M. Shankar, Detective Inspector, and Mohd. Kareem, SI, along with the Chikkadpally Crime Staff.
