Hyderabad: Domestic help steals valuables worth ₹2cr from employer's house
Hyderabad saw two major thefts within 24 hours.
In Jubilee Hills, a Nepalese couple working as domestic help allegedly stole gold, diamonds, and luxury watches worth ₹2 crore from their employers during the night or while the owners were away.
The house was found ransacked with cupboards and lockers broken open and the domestic workers missing; the driver or neighbor discovered the scene and alerted the owners.
In another case, woman drugs priests to steal
In Adarsh Nagar BHEL Colony, a woman reportedly drugged two priests with sedative-laced juice and called four friends to steal gold, silver, and phones.
Police tracked down all five suspects using CCTV and tech tools, recovering the stolen gold and silver within 24 hours; recovery of the mobile phones was not specified.
Meanwhile, police are still searching for the missing couple from Jubilee Hills.
After these back-to-back cases, police advised the public to exercise caution when offering shelter or hiring help and to verify identity documents before engaging domestic workers.
