Hyderabad: A gang of five, four men wearing masks and one woman in a burka, entered a house located a few metres away from Trimulgherry Traffic Police station on Monday and taped the mouths of two women there shut before robbing the place and decamping with gold and silver ornaments worth about Rs 1 lakh.
According to police, the gang barged into the independent house where two women, Shamsunnisa, 35, and Iqbal Begam, 70, were living, at 11 am on Monday. “They entered the place and while two men held the women’s, the other two taped their mouths shut and ransacked the house. They left with 45 tolas of silver and three tolas of gold,” said assistant commissioner of police Begumpet S. Ranga Rao.
