Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Commissioner’s Task Force, along with Chilkalguda police, arrested four people on Sunday for their involvement in vehicle theft. The police have seized 18 stolen bikes, valued at around Rs 10 lakh.
The arrested individuals were identified as K Srinivas (35), a native of Kamareddy; Bejawada Yesu Rathnam (38); Bejawada Shantha Rao (28), both residents of Cherlapally; and Annangi Srinu (32), a resident of Nagaram, Ranga Reddy district.
According to the police, Srinivas had moved to Hyderabad 15 years ago. In 2019, he married a woman named Yellamma, who tragically passed away in 2020 due to COVID-19. After her death, Srinivas married his sister-in-law, Vadde Laxmi, in 2022, but this marriage also ended when she left him just three months later.
Following these personal losses, Srinivas fell into depression and developed addictions to alcohol and ganja. Struggling financially, he turned to stealing vehicles from various places, including metro stations and government hospitals in Hyderabad.
