Police in Kishangarh’s Bandarsindri area have captured the husband‑wife duo who evaded arrest for ten months after a robbery at Rajasthan Central University staff quarters, each with a ₹7,500 reward.
The theft from the staff quarters of Rajasthan Central University in the Bandarsindri police jurisdiction of Kishangarh prompted a ten‑month search for the alleged perpetrators. Investigators identified a married couple as the primary suspects and announced a cash reward of ₹7,500 for information leading to their capture.
After weeks of surveillance and tip‑offs, police located the pair on the outskirts of Kishangarh and arrested them without incident. Both the husband and wife were taken into custody and are expected to face charges of burglary and possession of stolen property.
Authorities said the reward was instrumental in securing community cooperation, which ultimately led to the breakthrough. The case underscores the challenges of safeguarding university premises in smaller towns and the importance of swift police response to property crimes.
