Six chain snatchers arrested; stolen gold ornaments recovered
Hyderabad: Six members of two inter-state gangs were arrested by the police on Friday after which 1 kg of stolen gold ornaments and three bikes were seized, a police official said.
Hyderabad Police Commissioner M Mahender Reddy said that a police team nabbed Mohammed Rasheed Khan, Mohammed Sayeed Ali, Shaikh Arshad Ali, Afroz Khan besides Mir Ayan Ali and Syed Ahmed Ali, who were allegedly behind 30 chain snatching cases in the limits of Hyderabad and Cyberabad commissionerates as well as Medak district.
The accused Rasheed, Mohammed Sayeed, Shaikh Arshad and Afroz Khan (of the first gang) are relatives residing in Aurangabad and Hyderabad, the police official said. They used 150 cc and 180 cc bikes to snatch necklaces of women walking in lanes and bylanes of isolated places, the police official said.
After committing offences they used to go to Aurangabad in Maharashtra. They used to return to Hyderabad and commit similar offences again. So far they have been involved in 19 chain snatching cases, the police official said.
The second gang's prime accused Mir Ayan Ali, who is a native of Maharashtra, met another accused Syed Ahmed Ali in a jail here and hatched a plan to snatch gold necklaces, the police official said. Repeated offenders involved in a large number of chain snatching cases are booked under the stringent PD Act, the police official said.

A woman was killed and four other civilians were injured in Uri in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district as the Pakistan army intensified artillery fire across the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, officials said, adding that a large number of houses have also been damaged in the cross-border shelling.
Reports state that a Pakistani shell struck the vehicle the woman was traveling in, resulting in her death. The woman was identified as Nargis Bashir, and some of her family members had boarded a vehicle to flee from the Razarwani village in Uri that was hit by the mortar and artillery shells from Pakistan.
In an attempt to educate and make people aware about the consequences of war amid Pakistan's continuous firing in the border states, the Delhi government did a mock drill to test air raid sirens installed at the Public Works Department (PWD) at ITO and asked people to not react out of panic.
District Magistrate (Central) G. Sudhakar also urged people to remain calm and not be alarmed when they hear the sirens.
At least twice, sirens sounded during the drill, which started at 3 pm.
PWD Minister Parvesh Verma said 40-50 more such sirens will be installed across the national capital, each of which will cover an area of 8 km.
Residents present in Rajouri along the Line of Control have started moving to safer areas after heavy cross-border shelling and attempted drone and missile attacks last night by Pakistan. All drone and missile attacks were intercepted and foiled by India's air defence system.

Pakistan has claimed that its Economic Affairs Division account on social media has been hacked and called the post where it appealed for more loans from the international community owing to losses from Operation Sindoor "fake."
In a post on X, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs Fact Checker shared a picture of the post and mentioned that it was "fake." Additionally, it asserted that the account had undergone hacking.
A missile-like object is found deep inside the Dal Lake after loud explosions were heard on Saturday morning in Srinagar, which is a major tourist attraction. The defense ministry also confirms that Pakistan has intruded into Srinagar's airspace in a press release.
Since the early hours of Saturday morning (10th May), Srinagar has been rocked with multiple explosions, and now electricity is taken off in various places across Kashmir. The reason for this is yet to be determined, as reports indicate multiple places in Kashmir have lost power. The Indian Army released a statement after the press briefing, where they mentioned that they have attacked and neutralized multiple terrorist launchpads in a coordinated fire assault, razing them to cinders.
