HYDERABAD: Three burglars, including a woman, were nabbed by Rachakonda police on Tuesday at Thorrur crossroads on NH-65. Cops recovered Rs 21 lakh worth valuables, including 28.5 tola gold ornaments, from the trio.

Shiva and Soma Shiva met in jail while serving their sentences after they were released from jail in December 2019. The duo along with Nagamani stayed at Parsigutta and started committing burglaries.
Shiva was involved in 35 offences from 2005 till 2019, while Soma committed seven offences since 2002. The duo would target isolated colonies around the ORR outskirts and commit burglaries. Nagamani, a close associate of Shiva, was providing shelter to the duo and help them dispose of the stolen property.
