The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) V B Kamalasan Reddy has said that the police has recovered all the stolen gold ornaments and Rs 18,000 in cash from him and as part of the plan, the accused initially stole the key of the main door lock of the complainant's house and remained absent from duty since April 7 under one or the other pretext to execute his plan.
On Tuesday, he went to the apartment and has committed the theft and he has also carried chili powder along with him to sprinkle if anyone tried to catch hold of him. However, the entire movement of his entry and exit from the apartment was captured in CCTV cameras and the accused has limped while walking due to the presence of steel rod in his right leg and the limp has proved a vital evidence to zero in on him.
