Police took up the investigation, after the complainant Ram Babu, a resident of Lalitha Nagar, had lodged a complaint that 54 tolas of gold ornaments and some cash were stolen from the house. The incident reportedly took place on April 5, but the police received the complaint on Saturday.
From the very beginning, the police have been suspecting that it was a job of an insider. During the course of the investigation and interrogation of a few identified suspects, it was revealed that Kilaparthy Rama Krishna, a resident of Chodavaram and driver of the house, had allegedly committed the offence.
Rama Krishna allegedly gained access to the cupboard and made good with the gold and ₹14,000 cash, all worth around ₹13.64 lakh.
