Earlier this month two masked men drilled their way into the Trichy outlet of the popular Lalitha Jewelry group and robbed jewels worth rupees thirteen crores. The prime accused in the case Murugan surrendered at the Parappana Agrahara police station in Bengaluru and has been brought to Tamil Nadu by the police for interrogation.

It is said that Murugan has conducted daring heists at several places and always targetted banks, jewellery stores and rich people's houses. He and his gang of three Manikandan, Suresh and Ganeshan have so far made away with a staggering 100 Crore rupees but only 4.5 Crores worth cash and valuables have been seized by the cops so far.

Murugan in his interrogation has reportedly stated that with the money that he stole he spent an extravagant lifestyle and had even invested in the movie business. He has revealed that he has spent a lot of money on actresses and extras and even had affairs with him. The thief has also allegedly named a top young heroine who is said to have been very close to him and has had a physical relationship with him. However, according to sources the police are reluctant to believe Murugan's ravings as his stories vary everyday. Some reports have also claimed that the accused is an AIDS patient which has also sent shock waves in Kollywood according to a investigative journal's report.
