Meanwhile, four other members of the gang, who played a key role in the offences, are still at large.

Officials are also probing the role of this gang in various offences reported in different parts of northern Telangana and also in AP, Karnataka and Maharashtra.
Hailing from Madhya Pradesh, they would carry deadly weapons such as knives to defend themselves during the crimes, police said.
