THIEVES

Supposed to be the biggest heist ever in Hyderabad's history. Thieves broke into Tanishq showroom which is a prime jewellery shop in Punjagutta, Hyderabad and stole gold jewellery and gems. The showroom stated that the stolen jewellery is worth over Rs. 23 Crores (Around 3,669,000 US Dollars).

Within a couple of days, all the stolen jewellery, barring a pair of bangles, is recovered and the culprits are in the police custody. No, the police didn't catch them. One of the suspects, Kiran surrendered to police and a day later the second thief, Anand also surrendered.

This is the first time they committed this kind of crime. They didn't have any criminal record.

The Police said that the stolen (and recovered) jewel's worth is Rs.5.97 crores (Around 954,000 US Dollars) but not Rs.23 Crores.

The thieves stated that they did this to expose security loopholes and to awaken the society. They said that they wanted to become rich overnight just like politicians who bag a lot of wealth with just a single signature. They also said that they needed money to fulfill Kiran's dream of becoming a pilot and to treat the polio-affected leg of Anand. 

Whatever the reasons may be, they have commited a crime and now everything is in its place. All is well.

But at this point one thing is bugging me a lot. That is about the other thieves in this case. 

And that is Tanishq. Yes.

When the stolen jewel's worth is less than Rs.6 Crores, why is that they claimed it to be over Rs.23 Crores? What is this called as ? Are they not culprits ? Did they not try to dupe the system and the insurance company taking advantage of the robbery ? Did they not try to cheat ? Aren't they fraudsters ?

I call them THIEVES too.

Had not been the robbers surrendered, Tanishq Jewellery Showroom would have claimed Rs.23 crores. If not Rs.23 Crores, definitely more than Rs.6 Crores for sure.

Why is that there is no action taken on them ? 

Doesn't it show that the system has partiality towards powerful people ?
Charges should be pressed on them for attempt to cheat.
