HYDERABAD: Hyderabad City Police have reportedly nabbed the suspect who had attacked and robbed television actress Shalu Chourasiya at KBR National Park in Banjara Hills on Sunday.
The police, after scanning the footage of several CCTV cameras and analysing other evidence based on the clues given by the victim, finally laid their hands on him when he was moving in the neighbourhood.
