Three persons, including two Bangladeshis, were arrested in Adilabad district of Telangana on Monday for allegedly committing burglary at the residence of a prominent political leader, police said. Police solved the burglary case that occurred in July in Kailash Nagar under the limits of Mavala Police Station by arresting three members of an international and inter-state criminal gang, Adilabad District Superintendent of Police Akhil Mahajan said in a release.

The accused--Mohammed Jauni Ali alias Jani Ali (30) and Mohammed Ruman Ali (33), both electricians and natives of Dinajpur District, Bangladesh, presently residing at Jaipur, Rajasthan, were apprehended along with Tarun Singh (29), a fruit trader, from Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. Police recovered gold, silver, five high-end phones, and one motorcycle used in the commission of the offences from the possession of the accused. The total value of the recovered property is estimated to be approximately Rs 8 lakh, the SP said.

During the investigation, it was revealed that the prime accused, Jauni Ali allegedly entered India illegally and obtained a fake Aadhaar card. The investigation further revealed that after entering India from Bangladesh on July 11, he, along with his associates, travelled through Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra before reaching Adilabad, where they committed the burglary. The accused used to pretend as vendors selling pressure cookers and grinders during the daytime to conduct reconnaissance in residential colonies. At night, they would break open locks and commit burglaries.

Using technical evidence, CCTV footage, surveillance inputs, and coordination with police departments of various states, Adilabad District Police investigated the case, arrested the accused, and solved the offence.
