The matter surfaced on April 17 when a 48-year-old businessman from Kothapet approached the police, reporting that around 100 tolas of gold jewellery had gone missing from his residence. Based on his complaint, a theft case was formally registered, and the police began investigation.

Probe Findings

During the inquiry, police reviewed CCTV footage from the vicinity and questioned those who had access to the house. Their investigation revealed that Sagar, a 34-year-old manager working at the complainant’s tiles business, had been in regular contact with the businessman’s 20-year-old daughter, who is currently pursuing an MBA.

Both were questioned separately. According to police officials, the young woman admitted that she had taken the jewellery from her home and handed it over to Sagar. She believed his claim that he was suffering from a brain tumour and needed urgent financial assistance for treatment.
