Hyderabad: The Secunderabad Government Railway Police (GRP) along with RPF staff arrested a woman and her daughter for their alleged involvement in two theft cases.
The accused have been identified as Jamuna Byadh and her daughter Malathi Byadh, both natives of West Bengal. They were earlier involved in property offences in West Bengal. The police recovered 70 grams of gold ornaments and Rs.10,000 in cash, all worth Rs.10.60 lakh.
Addressing a press conference here on Monday, GRP Deputy Superintendent of Railway Police, SN Jawed said Jamuna came to Hyderabad with Malathi and her son Anand, for the medical treatment of her husband in July 2026. They had taken a room for rent at Gachibowli to ensure her husband’s treatment at a corporate hospital.
During their stay in Hyderabad, as the money available with them was insufficient to meet their expenses, both Jamuna and Malathi allegedly decided to start committing thefts. The police nabbed them at platform number one at Secunderabad railway station while moving under suspicious circumstances.
The police said the accused used to visit crowded railway stations and mingle with passengers’ on the pretext of boarding trains. While Jamuna would steal valuables from the handbags of the women passengers, Malathi would keep a watch on the movements of nearby passengers.
