According to the police, Chakradhar and his wife Seetha came to Hyderabad in search of a job around seven months ago.
“They were employed by V Damodar Rao, a realtor at the Vivekananda Nagar Colony in Kukatpally, and they lived in the servant quarters,” Ravindra said.
“Four days before the crime, their third associate came to Hyderabad from Lucknow. He was introduced to Rao as a relative,” the commissioner added.
The three broke into Rao’s house after the family left for a function on 12 July.
“The three looted cash and jewellery and fled the house,” the police added.
The arrested had stolen valuables worth ₹1 crore and ₹30 lakh cash from the realtor’s house.
During questioning, they told the police that they had spent ₹1 lakh while trying to escape from Hyderabad.
