The suspects, Dhanush (21), Mahaprabhu (21) of Dindigul, and Dhandapani alias Ashok (27) from Chennimalai, were caught by Chennimalai police after being questioned during a vehicle check. Upon interrogation, the trio confessed to robbing an elderly woman of her imitation jewellery at Mukasipidariyur in Chennimalai.
The police seized their two-wheeler and registered a case against them. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to recover the stolen items.
