Karimnagar: The Kothapally police of Karimnagar Police Commissionerate on Wednesday arrested two members of an inter-state burglary gang from Madhya Pradesh and produced them before a local court, which remanded them to judicial custody.

According to police, the accused were involved in two major burglaries last July. In one incident, thieves broke into a locked house in Gunturpalli village under Karimnagar Rural Police Station limits and stole gold ornaments worth ₹2.25 lakh. In another case near PVR Gardens on Malkapur Road, miscreants looted the residence of K. Rajendra Prasad, making away with liquor bottles and a Hero Honda motorcycle.

Following complaints, an investigation was launched under the direction of Police Commissioner Gouse Alam and the supervision of Rural ACP Shubham Prakash. The case was led by Kothapally SHO (Trainee IPS) Vasundhara, who identified the suspects as Pradeep (29), Hatru Singh (41), Vikram, and Jitendra — all hailing from Dhar district in Madhya Pradesh.

Pradeep was caught in March. Based on a tip-off, a special police team led by SI Sambamurthy arrested Hatru Singh from Naravali village in Madhya Pradesh and brought him to Karimnagar. He was produced before the court and remanded. The remaining accused, Vikram and Jitendra, are still absconding.

ACP Shubham Prakash commended SI Sambamurthy and team members Srinath, Abdul Khadeer, Shareef, Samba Reddy, and Devender for their coordinated efforts in cracking the case.
