Bangalore: How the excellent Hyderabad technician who is addicted to gaming ended up becoming a serial thief in nearly 90 cases

86 This is the number of criminal cases from 39-year-old L. Srinivas (also known as Kammepalli Srinivas) of Kammepalli village in Andhra Pradesh. He was a debtor of a mechanical engineer in Hyderabad, who committed crimes to make money, which put him in police custody.

Srinivas is an outstanding student and a hardworking professional who has worked in some companies in Hyderabad. Initially, his career was very good. “His problem started when he entered the world of online gambling and gaming, and he lost everything,” police said.

Srinivas once broke into a locked house and stole valuables. Bangalore police recovered stolen goods worth Rs 9 lakh from him. Last month, he robbed three homes in Kodigehalli. Most of his crimes are related to burglary, some are cases of cyber fraud, where he deceives individuals by acting as a job facilitator
He paid for the guest accommodation alone. He is a divorcee and his family is far away from him. His brother is our technician and his mother lives in Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, in another case, in Hongasandra, Bangalore, a 27-year-old man from Assam, named Imranullah, entered a mobile store through two foot holes he drilled in the wall. CCTV footage shows a naked masked man moving lights around the store, the lights turned off, and only using his cell phone flashlight to see his accomplices acting as surveillance. He only stole the phone worth Rs 15,000 or more, the most confusing part was that he committed the crime.

In questioning about fashion, he said he didn’t want to destroy his new clothes when his two foot holes squeezed. CCTV images from the store clearly show that he committed the crime. He entered the store with only a mask and a bag. His plan is to sell his phone on the black market and use the money to spend it on his girlfriend. Its owner, Dinesh, is a Rajasthanian, who left due to urgent family affairs. The robbery occurred between 1.30 and 3.00 am. The owner remotely checked the video around 4 a.m. and saw the burglary and immediately reminded his friend Vasanaram, who was working in a mobile store near Hosa Road. Vasanaram said he went to the store immediately and saw the hole drilled. He informed the police that when he and the police entered the store, they saw the missing phone call in the display case. Initially, police thought it was the job of an organized criminal gang. The forensic team has collected more evidence and the police are looking for a second person who was looked on.

Dinesh, the owner of the store, praised the police for their swift action, which led to the recycling of stolen goods. During the period of detention, the police charged Imranullah under relevant departments.
