Theft discovered after Hyderabad family returns from Mumbai
The burglary was discovered after the businessman’s family returned from Mumbai on Sunday, June 7.
When they arrived home, they found that the couple was missing. As there were no signs of forced entry or damaged locks, the family initially believed that the domestic workers had left their jobs without informing them.
