​Hyderabad: The south zone task force police on Thursday cracked a case of dacoity that happened about two years ago and arrested six persons. They recovered gold ornaments weighing 800 grams and Rs 1.5 lakh cash from the arrested accused persons and a search has been on to nab two others.

A case was registered by the Begum Bazaar police on August 20, 2014 following a complaint from jeweller Amzad Ali of Ghansi Bazar who said that three unknown persons who were on a bike robbed him at Lakdikapul and fled with about two kg gold ornaments and threw chilli powder in his eyes.

Despite strenuous investigation at that time, the teams could not find any clues and after almost two years, an officer received credible information that Shaik Imran Ali (25), a gold smith and also a nephew of the complainant was involved, said Task Force Additional DCP N Koti Reddy.

The officer said that Imran who was also into gold business, was in severe financial crisis. He hatched a plan to rob his uncle by taking help of his friends Mohd Waseem (32) owner of Aramex National Courier Services at Madina, Mohd Mujahid (24), B Com student from Tolichowki, Mohd Azam (24), butcher from Charminar, Mohd Shoukath (24), a petty businessman from Moosabowli and Mohd Mujeebuddin (24), an employee at Pista House.

“Accordingly, the sleuths detained the accused and basing on their confession, they were all arrested. It was also learnt that an advocate Saleem from Malakpet exploited the accused and took nearly 70 gold pendants by black mailing them. Efforts are on to nab the absconding advocate and another accused Zubair,” the officer said during a press conference at his office.
