The two have been sent to judicial custody and all the stolen goods have been recovered. The two have been identified as Nagaraj (42), who hailed from neighbouring Chikkaballapura, and Lakshmana (38), a resident of Srirampura. Lakshmana is a local pujari in the area and performs pujas in the neighbourhood temple. He had come to the house as he visited their house to perform many rituals. Reports said it was only when the two had come to the house to perform one such ritual they conspired to carry out the alleged theft. According to police, the price of the stolen gold jewelry worth Rs 8 lakh. The Sampigehalli police arrested them after a complaint was lodged by Pavan Gowda who resides in the house in Srirampura along with his mother. Police said that the duo had made a duplicate key after Pavan had given Lakshmana his car for some errand. Along with the car key, it also had a copy of the house key with which Lakshamana made a copy. Police said the theft was committed on October 17 when the mother-son duo were away in Dharmasthala. Investigators said the duo parted with only 200 gm of gold as recenty they had deposited other valuables in a bank locker. The complainants approached the police after they found their house ransacked once they returned. Police started the probe and found there was no forced entry into the crime scene and the duo was nabbed after studying locations of their cellphone. Police said the two have also allegedly confessed to the crimes after interrogation.
