Hyderabad Police Arrest Man Wanted in Over 180 Chain-Snatching CasesPreviousNext

A 43-year-old man, Mohammed Faisal Shah Ali Jabri, wanted in over 180 chain-snatching cases across Telangana, was arrested by Hyderabad police's Special Crime Team. The accused, who had been absconding for years and had 14 pending non-bailable warrants, committed multiple gold chain snatchings in 2023 in areas including Saifabad, Moghalpura, Charminar, and Nampally. He reportedly fled Hyderabad, stayed in Bengaluru, and later committed further offences in Andhra Pradesh. Investigations are ongoing.
