The accused named R Raj Kumar alias Raju of Ramaraopalle of Ramagundam mandal in Karimnagar district was arrested by urban central crime station (CCS). In another development, Mattewada police nabbed an Intermediate student Pedduri Kiran Kumar from Kothawada locality in Warangal, who also chose larceny as a means to meet his ends.

The value of the recovered property was said to be around Rs 11 lakh. Raj Kumar used to work as an RMP at his village. Making use of his profession as a cover he started committing housebreakings and chain snatchings after being inspired by his brothers Srinivas and Saraiah, who were habitual thieves and served jail terms.

On a tip-off, CCS Inspector Adinarayana has arrested Raj Kumar when he reached Warangal bullion market to sell the stolen jewellery. Saraiah was absconding.
