Our servant Rajesh helped the three accused in committing the crime. Later, he along with the trio fled with the cash and valuables,” the complainant said.

Investigating officer ASI Pardeep Kumar said a case was registered against Rajesh and his three accomplices and a probe was on to trace them. — TNS
