HYDERABAD: Ever heard of a high-flying burglar? 30-year-old Giri Gangadhar was just that. He would land in Hyderabad by taking a flight from Delhi, commit burglaries in Alwal and surrounding areas and take a flight back to his shelter in Noida.
Gangadhar has been doing this during the pandemic with ease before the law caught up with him. Confirming Gangadhar’s jet-setting lifestyle and modus operandi, Cyberabad commissioner of police VC Sajjanar said Special Operations Team (SOT) sleuths of Balanagar nabbed Gangadhar in Alwal on Friday when he was ready to strike at another house.
“Gangadhar arrives in Hyderabad by a flight. After committing burglaries, he will leave the city by taking a flight,” Sajjanar said. What’s more, to hoodwink cops, Gangadhar used to work in a private firm in Noida. “This was to avoid coming under police radar,” the CP said. Based on his confession, cops recovered 40 tola gold and one kg silver.
By analysing the CCTV footage and his cellphone data, police zeroed in on the accused and arrested him in Alwal. Police said Gangadhar had decided to stay in Machabollarum and Alwal even while doing recce in surrounding areas for potential targets to commit burglaries. “Gangadhar committed four burglaries at Alwal and Keesara this year,” a police official said.
A resident of Noida, Gangadhar is a native of Kumhari town in Chhattisgarh. The accused along with the seized material was handed over to Alwal police for further investigation.
