Class X students go missing after stealing money from their home

Hyderabad: Two cousins, both Class X students, who allegedly stole Rs 17,500 from their home at Jawaharnagar have reportedly gone missing.

According to Jawaharnagar police, Brijesh Kumar and his younger cousin Prince Kumar stole Rs 17,500 from Brijesh's father Sanjay Kumar's cupboard and fled the house on Monday morning after being reprimanded by his father. While Brijesh attends Kendriya Vidhyalaya, Prince Kumar studies at Pragathi High School.

Brijesh and his cousin have several friends who are involved in bad habits, according to the police, and the two cousins may possibly be addicted to vices.

“We have formed three special teams to trace the missing boys after receiving a complaint from their parents. We are examining the CCTV footage in the area.

We suspect that the boys have gone to a relative's house or are with friends, fearing that they will be admonished by their parents for stealing the money,” said Nagraj Goud, Jawaharnagar sub-inspector.
