HYDERABAD: Four persons were arrested for allegedly stealing gold ornaments from Santoshimatta temple at LB Nagar in December. Rachakonda police recovered 215 gm gold ornaments from their possession.
Police said that P Chinna Satyanandam, G Sammaiah, J Prasad, a registered medical practitioner, all three residents of Guntur district in AP, and D Naveen, an engineering graduate and a resident of Nalgonda district, were arrested, while M Nagendar was absconding.
“During investigation, based on the evidence gathered, we tried to look if there was a similar offence which took place in Telangana. But there was no match with the available evidence. Later, when we checked in AP, we got the breakthrough,” Rachakonda CP Mahesh Bhagwat said.
When the accused were taken into custody, police came to know that the conspiracy to commit the burglary was hatched inside jail, where the accused met after committing different offences.
