Nepali help, wife burgle Bengaluru home; aides held at border with stolen jewellery
A Nepali domestic worker and his family are on the run after allegedly burglarizing a home in Bengaluru, India. The suspects stole gold and silver jewelry worth around Rs 55 lakh, which they then handed over to their Nepali associates before fleeing. Four of the suspects have been arrested, while Sanjay, his wife, and his brother remain at large.
The burglary occurred on August 15 when the 62-year-old retiree and his family were away visiting a relative. The thieves entered the home around 2 am, taking the valuable jewelry. After the theft, they allegedly gave the stolen items to Ahishek Thathal, Deepak Shahi, Dheerendra Prem, and Ambre Dhami, all of whom were security guards in Bengaluru.
The trio then boarded a bus and headed towards Nepal. Police tracked them down near the Nepal border in Lakhimpur Kheri district on August 20 and arrested them. The stolen jewelry was recovered from their possession and produced in court.
