In a strange incident, the Visakhapatnam District Police arrested five students in Padmanabham Mandal for stealing goats from the local farmers and herders. These stealings came to light when a farmer raised a complaint on 6 December 2022 that five of his goats were missing.
Based on the farmer’s complaint, the Padmanabham Police visited a local weekly market, where they identified the stolen goats. The police learnt that the students had been stealing the animals and selling them to Shiek Abdullah, a vendor at the market, at Rs 10,000-20,000 per goat.
