Hyderabad: Kanchanbagh Police arrested three persons, including the complainant’s son, in a gold theft case. Police recovered stolen ornaments during the operation.
Mohd Rahmath Shareef (56) filed a complaint after he noticed gold items missing from an almirah at his residence. The stolen property included two small necklaces, one long necklace, and two gold chains.
During the probe, police found that his son, Mohammed Adnaan Shareef, identified the location of the ornaments during a family function. Later, he conspired with two others and planned the theft.
