Overview
- A Secunderabad resident reported a house burglary and police later identified about 576 grams of gold and nearly 900 grams of silver missing, together valued at roughly Rs 82 lakh.
- A special investigation team used technical leads and field work to trace the suspect to Calangute in North Goa and arrested him there, recovering the entire cache intact.
- Police identified the accused as 28‑year‑old Manoj Singh, a resident of Burari in New Delhi, and say the stolen items were found in his possession.
- Preliminary inquiries describe Singh as a habitual inter‑state burglar with 19 house‑theft cases in Delhi, non‑bailable warrants and prior detention in Tihar Jail, and further prosecution is being coordinated with Delhi Police.
- The case highlights how CCTV, technical tracing and inter‑state police cooperation can locate suspects across states and may speed return of property and cross‑jurisdiction prosecutions.
