Hyderabad Police Arrest 10 in Jeweller Kidnapping Over Real Estate Dispute
In Hyderabad, police arrested 10 members of a gang involved in kidnapping jeweller K. Srinivas Rao on October 5. The gang, impersonating police and using fake vehicle plates, abducted Rao near Golnaka flyover, demanding a ransom initially set at ₹15 crore but settled at ₹1.30 crore, which was paid before his release. The kidnapping stemmed from a real estate dispute involving the prime accused, Dumavath Srikanth, who aimed to secure a power of attorney over the property. Two suspects remain at large.
