3 offenders arrested in 2 crore burglary

 A three-member burglary gang was arrested on Thursday for allegedly stealing articles worth Rs 3 crore from their employer’s residence, where they worked as a cook and a maid, police said.     The offenders—two men from Bihar and a woman from West Bengal—burgled the house on the night of February 10-11 within the jurisdiction of Narayanguda police station. They stole diamonds, gold, silver, cash and foreign currency from various countries, police said.

    The accused carried out the burglary while their employer and his family were in Dubai for his daughter’s wedding, police said.    After the theft, they boarded a train to Delhi as part of their plan to escape Hyderabad, they added.

    Following a complaint, a case was registered and investigators examined CCTV footage. Using technology, police apprehended the suspects from a train in Nagpur and subsequently arrested them.    During interrogation, the stolen property was recovered from their possession, police said.

    "The three accused conspired and meticulously planned this burglary, which our police teams detected and solved with swift action," Hyderabad Commissioner of Police C V Anand told reporters.    The recovered items are currently valued at approximately Rs 3 crore, while its market value exceeds Rs 5 crore, he added.

    Regarding their modus operandi, a Hyderabad police release stated that the offenders targeted wealthy households, securing jobs as maids, cooks, or security guards. After gaining the house owner’s trust, they would execute planned burglaries.    "If confronted, they did not hesitate to kill before fleeing with the stolen goods to their native villages," police added.

They will be segregated into 15 batches and each batch will be trained for 90 minutes. He said that this is an important program that will be useful not only for police personnel but also for the general public.

CPR restores the supply of blood and oxygen to the body that has stopped due to cardiac arrest. If The heart starts beating again. The person who has fainted will regain consciousness. CPR helps to circulate oxygenated blood from the heart to all organs, including the brain. This prevents brain death. Any delay in starting CPR can cause irreversible damage to the brain. Therefore, CPR should be started immediately for a person who has lost consciousness.

Do not hesitate to start CPR. In an emergency, every second counts and delaying the start of CPR can be life-threatening. While you are performing CPR, do not forget to call for emergency medical help. According to a survey, 98% of our Indian population is still not trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedures. It is a very crucial and basic method to save lives in emergency situations.

Other countries like America, Japan, Singapore and European countries have made CPR mandatory in their education system. Deaths are increasing due to lack of awareness about CPR. 1.15 lakh people die every day due to cardiac arrest worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, about 5.8 crore people die of heart attacks every year.

He said that it is very important to create awareness among everyone about Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). During my work in CISF,we gave CPR training to everyone.
