Man held for snatching gold chain in Kukatpally
Hyderabad: The Cyberabad police on Wednesday arrested a person for his alleged involvement in a chain snatching that took place in Kukatpally police station limits a few days ago.
The accused has been identified as Kotti Sai Ram (28), a private employee and native of Pamarru village in Krishna district. Kukatpally Assistant Commissioner of Police, K Srinivasa Rao said that Sai Ram came to Hyderabad a month ago in search of a job and was staying at a hostel in Kukatpally Housing Board. He was working in a private company in Kukatpally for the last one month.
As he was suffering from a financial crisis and could not pay the hostel fee, he decided to earn money by committing robberies and fulfill his needs. On January 3 at 12.30 pm, he had stolen a bike near a hospital at Kukatpally and the next day he observed a woman proceeding towards Vivekanandanagar Colony in Kukatpally alone to attend her duty.
He then came from the opposite direction and snatched her gold chain weighing eight grams and escaped from the spot. The police identified the accused after examining footage collected from 180 surveillance cameras in Kukatpally and its surroundings.
