A couple from Bihar was taken into custody by the Rajendranagar police for allegedly stealing valuables from the house of their employer on Tuesday night.

Kumar Yadav and Bharathi joined as housemaid and watchman at the house of a doctor at Mehfil Township in Bandlaguda Jagir a few months ago.

The woman, over a period of time, collected gold ornaments and expensive articles from the employer’s house, and stashed it at her room.

Three days ago, Bharati and Yadav left the room.

On noticing that the duo had not attended work, the doctor’s family checked their belongings and found that gold ornaments were missing.
