The very word “Cheddi Gang” sends shivers down the spine of citizens in some areas of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The gang of daredevil criminals has no regional allegiance, and once they set their eyes on the target, they strike with precision and ruthlessness at homes usually situated far from city centers. Their latest escapade has once again stirred the fear among people of Tiruchanoor, near Tirupati.
A Brazen Break-In: The Latest Incident
In the latest incident, the Cheddi Gang made their presence felt in the peaceful town of Tiruchanoor. The gang targeted a house in the Kottapalem layout and scaled the compound wall before breaking into the house. The criminals broke the window bars to gain entry, exploiting the lack of human activity in the area. Once inside, they ransacked the house, making off with valuable jewelry and cash stored in a cupboard. The entire operation was carried out by just three members whose acts were captured in the house’s CCTV cameras.

Police on the Trail: Challenges in Identification
The victims have given the police a complaint, and this footage is being used by them to identify the culprits. However, the gang members were masked, and it is very hard to analyze their identities from the footage. This incident is a grim reminder of a similar event two years ago when the Cheddi Gang last terrorized Tiruchanoor; it seems they have returned to their old hunting grounds.
Cheddi Gang’s Modus Operandi: A Careful Attitude
The Cheddi Gang has been extremely cautious about the crimes they committed. The members take every possible precaution to leave no traces behind that may lead to their identification. Their trademark attire, the ‘banians’ and ‘cheddis,’ coupled with the mask, ensured that their faces were never visible. They also oil their bodies so that nobody can catch hold of them in case of a robbery. In this way, with their clever mode of operation, they have remained at large and long managed to continue their criminal activities with quite a low level of fear of apprehension.
Conclusion: A Community on Edge
Cheddi Gang return puts Tiruchanoor and surrounding areas on high alert. Though police have begun to tighten their efforts in tracking down these elusive criminals, the gang’s careful tactics add to the dilemma. With the community bracing for what may come next, there is a collective hope that soon enough law enforcement will bring this notorious gang to justice and restore peace and security to the region.
