  "account": "The Sangareddy Police have arrested three members of an inter-state robbery gang, who targeted cars parked on National Highway 65 during nighttime. The arrested men are Hasan Sameer Shaik, Santosh Segar Dhagudu, and Naushad Jakir Sayyad, all from Maharashtra. Another accused, Rafik Shamshoddin Shaikh, is still at large. The gang, known for operating on night hours, specifically targeted cars parked in isolated areas. They would leave their motorcycle at a distance, disguise themselves, and rob occupants of valuable items before escaping. The arrests were made after police conducted vehicle checks at Madgi crossroads, where they intercepted the gang's blue Yamaha motorcycle without a registration plate. The gang is believed to have targeted cars in Sangareddy district and another in Humnabad, Karnataka, robbing occupants of gold ornaments and cash. The stolen items were later sold in Latur, with the proceeds shared among the gang members. Police have also linked the gang to similar robberies in Bidar district, Karnataka. The SP advised motorists to avoid parking in isolated stretches of national highways, especially at night, and to seek assistance from well-lit and populated places in case of emergencies.",
  "summary": "The gang allegedly used a fake air pistol and knives to rob people in cars parked along highways, sold stolen gold ornaments through a contact in Latur and planned more robberies in Telangana",
