Bengaluru Police Nab Seven in Rs 1.5 Crore Cash and Gold Heist from Lecturer's Home
The Yelahanka police have successfully arrested seven individuals involved in a daring robbery of Rs 1.5 crore in cash and 50 grams of gold from a private college lecturer's house. The former car driver of the lecturer was identified as the mastermind.
Investigations revealed that the lecturer’s former car driver, Shankar (48), was the mastermind behind the robbery. Shankar, a resident of Domlur, orchestrated the plan with the help of Jagan Mohan (54) and his brother Srinivas S (44), both natives of Andhra Pradesh and involved in real estate. Other accomplices include Rajendra Munith Jain (42), who runs the International Human Rights Commission office in Yelahanka; Kiran Kumar Jain (51); and Hemanth Kumar Jain (42).
On September 19, the complainant, Giriraj, a private college lecturer, had left his home around 8 pm. Four of the accused then barged into the house, posing as officials from the Anti-Crime and Corruption Bureau. They informed Giriraj’s wife that they were conducting a search operation. The investigation revealed that Shankar had learned about Giriraj’s property sale and shared the details with Mohan. The cash had been kept at home after the sale of the property.
Police said that after analyzing multiple CCTV clips, they tracked the accused. The suspects had met their associates and changed the fake number plate to the original one. Seven people have been arrested so far, while one is still on the run. The police have recovered Rs 1.27 crore in cash and several documents.
The Yelahanka police have been commended for their swift action and thorough investigation, which led to the arrests and recovery of a significant portion of the stolen money and gold. This case highlights the importance of vigilance and the need for enhanced security measures, especially when dealing with large sums of money and valuable items.
