Better Safe than Sorry

The details came out of the case i reported in my previous blog.

Very young workers for aluminium frame for windows assumed that they will get big booty from the house, which they didn't.

I am afraid that when they come out from prison after completing the term, what will they become?

Security has been beefed up in the apartment, CCTV, recording, gate pass, security log, solar fencing and intercom...but if the crime will intended for such brutal plan and organised with 4-5 people, it can be only avoided with co-operations and precautions.

I would advise and recommend women's and elder people to take following precautions, which i gathered from various discussions after the incident.

1. Dont believe any worker blindly, despite since when you know them, mind that the culprit in above incident were working for almost one year.

2. Don't allow any outsider to work at home when alone, consider security guard or neighbour to accompany you.

3. Even for small time anyone is coming in house keep the main door open.

4. Advise security personnel to ask for small note to anyone who is carrying items from any house, if  residents are giving any item to maid or any outsiders they must send a note along.

5. Check from peep hole before opening door specially,when alone during afternoon.

6. Don't keep valuables left outside in open when outsiders are at home.

7. Don't discuss about valuables or show bullion or cash in your closet, in case carrying much even for short time.

when going out of home for long time, specially outstation. tell your neighbour and security personnel to visit the house and check for any deviations.

I used to feel all the above unnecessary, until i witnessed the incident in my apartment.

Its a sorry state that we cannot relax in our own home, but that is the reality let's face it.

Fantastic Job: Cyberabad Police

Since my childhood, I have heard a lot about police involvement in crime and their lackadaisical approach in registering and resolving the case. But here I witnessed a prompt and professional action by cyberabad police.

Incident:

wife and mother of an project manager from IBM was brutally killed in their own flat. This happened on Monday afternoon, when Mr. Anand was working in office and the daughter was in school. And worst a 3 month old baby was in the house itself.

Apartment was occupied by one third, and there were very few families on each floor. The culprit dared to enter the house killed both of them and walked out with cash aprox 30000 cash. All the ornaments on the dead body remains as it is. Neighbors alarmed only when the 6yr old daughter came home from school and saw their mother and grandmother lying in the kitchen floor.

Investigation:

Police came they tried to find clue but there were few, all the security personal, house maid’s and other workers were questioned for two days in police station. One guy who used to put mosquito nets in the house including Mr Anand’s house was found missing, upon contacting he was not picking up the phone and picked up once late in the night and said he will be reporting to police next day, but instead of reporting he fled.

Police used the mobile tracker and other information about the suspect and send two teams, one to UP his native, and another to Mumbai where his mobile was tracked to. Police incharge Mr. Bheema Reddy gave assurance to us that they will crack the case withing 24Hrs.

And as he said on the 4^th day mid night 3AM, which is about 18 Hrs from the statement police team in Maharashtra caught him.

Judgment:

Police has done their bit and remarkably fast. Now it’s time for judiciary to act upon, we have seen high profile cases like Jessica and Arushi taking years unresolved. Let’s hope for right justice in time.

Will update you all about the judgment through my post.
