A domestic worker involved in a theft at the residence of Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka in Banjara Hills was apprehended by the Government Railway Police in Kharagpur, West Bengal, on Thursday. The suspects, identified as Roshan Kumar Mandal and Uday Kumar Thakur from Bihar, have confessed to their involvement in the burglary.
Authorities recovered Rs 2.2 lakh in cash, a 100-gram gold coin, silver articles, and foreign currency stolen from the Deputy CM’s house. According to the police, the suspects had fled with Rs 80,000 in cash and various silver ornaments. The foreign currency included British pounds, Swiss francs and UAE dirhams, according to a report on India Today.
The theft occurred while the Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka was on a foreign tour. The crime was discovered when Bhatti's personal secretary attempted to contact Roshan, who had been working as a watchman at the house for four months. Upon receiving no response, the secretary visited the residence, only to find the door unlocked and the cupboards open, indicating a robbery had taken place.
The quick action by the police led to the recovery of the stolen items and the arrest of the culprits. The investigation is ongoing, and further details about the suspects' motives and plans are expected to emerge. However, it is yet to be ascertained on how the accused got access to the money and belongings of the Minister.
Earlier, the complainant reported that Rs 80,000 in cash and several silver articles was missing.
On the other hand, Kharagpur RPF, during a routine check, arrested Roshan Mandal and Uday Kumar Thakur and allegedly confiscated Rs 2.2 lakh in cash, 100 grams of gold, and foreign currency from their possession, reported Deccan Chronicle.
Following the detention, West Bengal police informed Telangana officials about the incident. The accused also reportedly accepted their crime.
