According to the report, Prakash Shahi (46), Apil Shahi (41), and Jagadish Shahi (30) came to Bengaluru from Nepal and were associated with the couple Ganesh and Geetha, the house help of NV Nagesh, the owner of the Sampige theatre. With the help of three Nepalis, Ganesh and Geetha planned to steal ornaments and cash from Nagesh’s house in Bengaluru’s Jayanagar.
On October 21, when Nagesh was alone in his house, Ganesh and Geetha added sedatives to his liquor. When Nagesh lost his consciousness, they called three Nepali associates to the house and started stealing the items.
The complaint reportedly said that the gang had stolen gold and silver ornaments from his house along with ₹1.5 lakh cash deposits. All five fled the scene after that night by the time Nagesh regained his consciousness. While the Bengaluru Police arrested three accused, Ganesh and Geetha are on the run.
