Overview
- Police say the burglary took place while the elderly homeowners were away on Saturday and first surfaced when a missing idol chain was reported the next day.
- The scale of the theft became clear on Monday when the homeowners' son opened a locker and found roughly 7–8 kg of gold and about 1.5 kg of silver gone.
- A Cyberabad special team tracked and arrested three Nepali nationals — identified as Kamal Shahi, Vimal Shahi and Kalpana — in Udampur, Rampur district on Tuesday and recovered the jewellery intact.
- Investigators say the accused, who had worked in the house, confessed to using a key kept near the locker to open it and then relocking it before fleeing.
- Police credit a brief mobile‑phone activation and rapid sharing of photos with UP, Bihar and Uttarakhand forces for narrowing the suspects' movement and say transit warrants will bring the trio to Hyderabad for further interrogation and prosecution, while advisories urge background checks for domestic help.
