Hyderabad: Forget about thieves being caught red-handed stealing goods and beaten to pulp by the public. This burglar in Shivalayanagar area of Hyderabad was not even caught. He instead ran away, settled on a rock in the middle of a pond. The thief also attached conditions to him coming out of the pond-if only current Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and his predecessor K Chandrashekhar Rao come to the spot along with TV channels.
Police had a tough time dealing with the thief and literally requested him to come out of the pond for further proceedings in the case. It is learnt that the theft took place at the house of one Nandu and his wife Nagalakshmi in Shivalayanagar area of Telagangana capital Hyderabad under Suraram police station limits on Friday, Dec 15.
Sources said that on Friday the couple locked the house to attend a function of an acquaintance. It is learnt that when their second daughter Saijyoti came home around 4.30 pm, the house door was open even though the gate was locked from inside. When Saijyoti went inside with suspicion, she saw that not only the items in the wardrobe were strewn around in the bedroom, but a man was sitting in it and counting the stolen money.
The girl got scared and raised a hue and cry while rushing outside. The thief escaped from the spot and was chased by the locals. The thief went down into the big pond and sat on a massive rock as locals looked helpless. For the next hours, a dramatic sequence of events unfolded as the locals requested the thief to come out of the pond but to no avail.
