The National Investigation Agency has joined the probe into a theft of weapons from the Madras Regiment at Bolarum in Telangana, assisting local law‑enforcement agencies.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been called in to assist with the ongoing investigation of a reported theft of arms belonging to the Madras Regiment in Bolarum, a suburb of Hyderabad, Telangana. Local police and army officials briefed the agency on the incident, which was first detected earlier this week.
According to the authorities, the stolen items are believed to be standard‑issue weapons stored at the regiment's depot in Bolarum. The exact number and type of arms have not been disclosed, and no injuries have been reported.
The NIA’s involvement signals a heightened focus on the case, given the potential security implications of military equipment falling into the wrong hands. Investigators are now conducting forensic examinations, reviewing CCTV footage, and interrogating personnel with access to the depot.
Both the army and state police have assured the public that the investigation is being pursued aggressively, and that steps are being taken to prevent any further breach of security at the facility.
