Overview
- Police say the family left for Umrah on June 23 and that valuables kept for a daughter’s wedding were taken from their locked house during their absence.
- Officers intercepted a Honda Activa during vehicle checks near Bhoiguda Kaman on July 3 and detained two suspects who led them to a third arrested later.
- The three accused include two cousins of the victim and a long‑time shop helper who had worked for the family for about 12 years.
- Investigators recovered nearly all the haul—134.44 grams of gold, Rs 12.5 lakh in cash, a Rado watch valued about Rs 1.4 lakh, silver anklets, and the scooter used in the theft.
- All three were produced in court and remanded to judicial custody while police continue forensic analysis and prepare formal charges; the case highlights risks from sharing travel plans and the role of CCTV and fingerprint evidence in quick resolutions.
