HYDERABAD: Despite special police teams scouring several states, culprits in the recent high-profile cases have so far managed to hoodwink the city police.

Special teams of Cyberabad police have gone to several states in search of the thieves who stole 3.5 kilo gold from city jeweller Abhishek Agarwal after diverting his attention by puncturing his car tyre at Kukatpally on April 16. With the help of CCTV camera footage, police found that three offenders, including a woman, had directly participated in the offence. They had used a car with Maharashtra registration plate.

Based on the registration number particulars, cops went to Mumbai and met the first owner of the car. The owner told the police that he had sold the car a few year ago. The car changed several hands and landed in Bangalore. The person from Bangalore, whom the cops identified as the latest owner, informed them that a Nigerian had purchased the sedan from him in April. Cops now suspect that the Nigerian could be operating the gang and a special team has been on the hunt for the suspect.

In another case involving the suicide of Sandhya Singh,30,a radio jockey at a local FM Channel, police arrested her husband on May 3. His other family members were made co-accused in the case. Police said the two had applied for anticipatory bail and a local court had rejected their pleas.

``Out teams have gone to Lucknow and Gorakhpur in search of the absconding accused, but they were not there. We are still searching for them,'' assistant commissioner of police (ACP), Begumpet, S Ranga Rao said.

Special teams of Kukatpally and Bolarum police have travelled to other states in search of the absconding accused and suspects.
