Hyderabad, 13 September

The Cyberabad police have arrested a seven-member gang involved in a high-value dacoity at Shankerpally, recovering Rs 17.50 lakh on Saturday.

Details of the Incident

According to police, on Friday around 11:30 am, a man named Sai Baba collected Rs 40 lakh in cash from a person in Vikarabad and was returning to the city when three men in another car rammed into his vehicle, assaulted him, and snatched the cash bag.

Cyberabad Police Commissioner Avinash Mohanty stated, “We nabbed the suspects within 24 hours and recovered Rs 17.50 lakh from them.”

The Accused

The arrested gang members include:

  • Madhu Kasula (27)

  • Thelapuram Vijay Kumar (35)

  • Mohd Azhar (44)

  • Salin Harshavardhan (29)

  • Shameem Mulla (26)

  • Bandra Anudeep (25)

  • Cherukula Deepak (25)

Modus Operandi

Madhu, a cab driver, was called by Sai Baba for the trip. Being aware of Sai Baba’s cash handling routine, Madhu allegedly planned the dacoity and involved his friends Vijay, Azhar, and Harshavardhan. Harshavardhan used a car belonging to Anudeep and recruited Deepak and Shameem Mulla to execute the robbery.

While returning from Vikarabad near Hussainpur village gate, Shankerpally, the three assailants stopped Sai Baba’s car and looted the cash. Madhu, who was with Sai Baba at the time, did not resist.

After the robbery, the getaway car overturned. Azhar and Vijay, who were following in another car, rescued the trio and took them along. The seven suspects were apprehended with the assistance of Sangareddy and Shadnagar police teams.
