Hyderabad:A thief on Tuesday jumped from a 20-foot-high under-construction flyover at Khadarbagh in Amberpet fearing arrest.
K. Ramulu, 42, was spotted by a security guard while trying to steal iron scrap from the site, K. Ashok, SHO, Amberpet, said.
The thief, in a drunken state, left his bag and climbed the flyover as the security guard and others chased him. He was trying to climb a tree near the flyover when he fell. He fractured his left leg.
“On being informed, our team rushed to the scene and nabbed him. The police shifted him to OGH where Ramulu is undergoing treatment,” the SHO said.
Ramulu, a resident of Bandlaguda, is a labourer. He was involved in several small thefts. He panicked when the security guard and other labourers shouted ‘donga donga’.
A case for attempt to commit theft was registered under section 34 of BNS Act. We are verifying his background, the SHO added.
