They stole the Nizam’s gold tiffin box and ate from it

Hyderabad, Sep 11: They stole the Nizam's gold tiffin box and while they were away from the eye of the police, they even ate from it. The antique items, including a gold tiffin box worth several crores of rupees were stolen from the Nizam's Museum in Hyderabad last week.

The police formed a 15 member team and finally managed to arrest the thieves. The thieves who made away with a gold tiffin box, a cup studded with rubies, diamonds and emeralds fled to Mumbai after the robbery.

At Mumbai they lived in a luxury hotel and one of them even used to eat his food from the gold tiffin box.

After CCTV footage of two masked persons (seen walking out of a building and driving a bike) went viral on social media, police suspected that at least two people committed the offence after gaining entry through the ventilator before allegedly indulging in the theft.
