Unidentified persons allegedly stole gold ornaments from the residence of senior IPS officer V.V Lakshminarayana, located on Road No. 12 of Banjara Hills, the police said on Saturday.

Family members of Mr. Lakshminarayana approached the Banjara Hills police and lodged a complaint.

While the exact date and time of theft is yet to be known, the police said that the officer’s wife complained that gold ornaments, including a necklace and two chains weighing about 28 tolas, and worth ₹8 lakh, had gone missing from the house.

“Since there were no signs of breaking the cupboard, the needle of suspicion pointed towards persons working in the house,” the police said, adding that domestic help of the house will be questioned.

Police said that a case of ‘theft of property in possession of master’ under Section 381 of the Indian Penal Code had been booked and a probe is on.
