Domestic Help Accused in Secunderabad Robbery at Retired Army Captain’s Home

Police teams analyze CCTV footage to trace the gang’s route through city transport.

Overview

  • Police identified the domestic worker, Pujaraj from Nepal, as the alleged facilitator who was hired about 20 days earlier and let four armed men into the Gunrock Colony residence.
  • The assailants tied 75-year-old Capt. Giri to a chair, threatened his wife and another worker, and stole ₹95,000 in cash and roughly 20 tolas of gold from a cupboard locker.
  • CLUES and fingerprint teams processed the scene, CCTV images were secured, and four special teams were constituted under the North Zone to track the suspects.
  • Footage shows the group escaping toward Alwal in a hired autorickshaw, and police are monitoring stations through the Command Control Centre with alerts to GRP, RPF and the SSB on the Indo–Nepal border.
  • Estimates of the loss differ across reports, ranging from ₹23 lakh to ₹50 lakh, and investigators are probing leads that the gang may have connections to other cities.
