A three-member gang, including a "producer" of a yet-to-be-released film, involved in various bank robberies and house burglaries, was today brought to the city after their arrest in Bangalore, Cyberabad police said today.
The gang members-- N Bala Murugan, his nephew P Suresh and V Dinakaran-- all natives of Tamil Nadu were arrested by Bangalore police yesterday.
"They had formed a gang in 2008 and started committing offences even as 20 non-bailable warrants are pending against Murugan and Suresh in Bangalore city," the police said in statement.
In a bid to settle in the tinsel world and produce movies, the gang started committing bank and house burglaries in Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu to fulfil their motive.
"In 2012, Murugan produced a movie by name 'Manasa Vinava' (not yet released) with a budget of Rs 50 lakh, in which Suresh acted as a protagonist. It is pertinent to state that the inauguration function of this movie was held in Rajahmundry and police/ and revenue officers also attended this function," police said.
When contacted, B Naveen Kumar, DCP (Crimes) said the arrest of the gang was possible due to the efforts of Bangalore and Cyberabad police jointly.
