Hyderabad: A 29-year-old man was arrested by Ramgopalpet police for breaking in and stealing gold ornaments from his uncle’s house.
According to the police, Suraj Malani broke into his uncle, Sri Gopaldas’ house and stole gold ornaments weighing 30 to 32 tula’s from his house.
At the time of the incident, on February 11, Gopaldas and his family were in Satamrai, Rangareddy district to perform a ritual at a factory.
