Bengaluru: A couple who committed theft to clear their debts landed in police custody.

The couple, Sumanth and Likhita, both from Shivamogga got acquainted while studying physiotherapy. Later they rented an apartment in the city’s AGS Layout area and were in a live-in relationship.

Meanwhile, they borrowed money from people to live a lavish life.

After the completion of their course, they returned to Shivamogga and the people who gave them loans started pressurising them to return the money.

The couple then hatched a plan to make easy money and clear their debts.

They observed that their landlord in Bengaluru, Premalatha possessed a good amount of gold jewellery, which they planned to steal.

They stole the jewellery and escaped from the apartment.

Premalatha had lodged a complaint with Subramanyapura police and suspected the role of the couple who had visited her recently.

The police went to Shivamogga and took them into custody.

They also recovered Rs 6 lac worth of jewellery which the couple had sold it to another person.
