Overview
Mailardevpally police have arrested a 28-year-old man, identified as former worker Anil Nagorao Kamble, in connection with the theft of ₹24.49 lakh from a bakery company’s office in Kattedan, Hyderabad. According to the police account, the entire amount of cash reported stolen was recovered from the suspect’s residence, along with a mobile phone. The workplace involved is Harsh Bakers Biscuit Company, where Kamble previously worked, as stated in the report.
The sequence on August 31
Police said the money was handled by cashier Gaddam Kurumurthy on August 31. Around 7.10 p.m., he placed approximately ₹24–₹25 lakh in the office locker at the company’s Kattedan premises. After securing the cash, he locked the office and handed over the keys to the security guard before leaving. This sequence, as described by police, set the context for what staff discovered when the workday resumed.
Discovery the next morning
The following morning, employees Venkatamma and Danji Singh reportedly arrived and found signs of a break-in. The office door, almirah, and locker had been broken open, and the cash was missing. Based on this discovery, police registered a case and initiated an investigation. The immediate response included the formation of special teams to trace the person responsible.
The police response and special teams
After the case was registered, Mailardevpally police formed special teams focused on identifying and locating the suspect. The report notes that these teams used multiple investigative approaches.

These steps were cited as key to building the trail that ultimately led to the arrest.
How investigators narrowed in on a suspect

Kamble’s prior association with Harsh Bakers Biscuit Company is noted in the report, and investigators focused on him as part of their enquiry.

Following the investigative steps, officers located Kamble and proceeded to his residence. There, police recovered ₹24,49,500 in cash, matching the amount reported stolen, according to the report. A mobile phone was also seized during the operation.
