Success Story: HHF’s Role in Resolving a Jewelry Theft Case in Gooty

Introduction
At Helping Hands Foundation (HHF), we believe in standing by those who seek justice, especially when they face challenges in navigating complex legal and administrative systems. One such case that highlights our commitment is the jewelry theft incident involving Mrs. Lakshmi Devi, a 56-year-old woman from Tirupati, who was robbed of her precious gold ornaments during a train journey in April 2022. Today, we are proud to share the success story of how HHF played a pivotal role in ensuring justice for Mrs. Lakshmi Devi.

The Incident
On 8th April 2022, Mrs. Lakshmi Devi and her husband were traveling on Train No. 12769 (Seven Hills Special) from Tirupati to Secunderabad. During the journey, while the train was halted near Turakapalli Railway Station due to signal clearance, unknown offenders snatched her gold ornaments, including:

  • A 36-gram gold chain,
  • A 24-gram Nallapusala gold chain, and
  • A Lakshmi Dollar with two small gold pipes, totaling 63.25 grams worth ₹1,26,000.

The incident left Mrs. Lakshmi Devi devastated, and she immediately reported the crime to the Government Railway Police Station (GRPS), Gooty, on 9th April 2022.

HHF’s Persistent Efforts
Mrs. Lakshmi Devi approached HHF in August 2023, seeking assistance as she felt her case was not progressing. Despite her repeated attempts to contact the police, she received no response or updates on the status of her case. Frustrated and helpless, she turned to HHF for intervention.

HHF took up the matter promptly and filed a detailed representation with the Dy. Superintendent of Police, Railway Sub Division, Guntakal, on 25th August 2023. While we received an initial response from the police on 3rd October 2023, the case seemed to stall, with no further updates or action.

In February 2025, Mrs. Lakshmi Devi reached out to HHF again, stating that her repeated phone calls to the police continued to go unanswered. She expressed her frustration and helplessness, urging HHF to intervene once more. Recognizing the urgency of the matter, HHF escalated the issue by sending a strongly worded reminder to the SHO, GRPS, Gooty, on 14th February 2025, followed by a registered post on 15th February 2025.

Breakthrough in the Case     
The persistent efforts of HHF bore fruit when the Gooty RPS responded on 20th March 2025, providing a detailed update on the case. The key developments included:

  1. Arrest of Accused: The police arrested four individuals:
    • A1: Ajith Chudiya Bhaichand Bhonsle,
    • A2: Amar Mohan Kale,
    • A3: Amol Sowdagar Powar, and
    • A4: Rahul Hanumanth Kaale.
  2. Recovery of Stolen Property: A portion of the stolen jewelry, including the 36-gram gold chain and the Lakshmi Dollar with gold pipes, was recovered.
  3. Charge Sheet Filed: A charge sheet was filed on 31st July 2023, and the case was registered as CC No. 143/2023 in the Special JFCM Court, Railways, Guntakal.

HHF’s Continued Support
Throughout the process, Mrs. Lakshmi Devi repeatedly approached HHF for assistance, as she felt abandoned by the authorities. HHF’s role was not just limited to pursuing the police but also providing emotional support and guidance to the complainant. We advised her to seek suitable legal advice from lawyers to proceed with filing a petition in the Special JFCM Court, Guntakal, to obtain property return orders for the recovered jewelry.

HHF’s relentless follow-ups with the police and court officials ensured that the case remained on track and that Mrs. Lakshmi Devi’s voice was heard. Our efforts were driven by the belief that no one should be denied justice due to bureaucratic delays or lack of responsiveness.

Outcome

Conclusion
At HHF, we are committed to ensuring that no voice goes unheard and no plea for justice goes unanswered. Mrs. Lakshmi Devi’s case is a shining example of how collective efforts can bring about positive change. We thank the Gooty RPS and the Special JFCM Court, Guntakal, for their cooperation and urge all stakeholders to continue working together to deliver justice swiftly and effectively.

Ballia Reunion on 7.1.2026

Image
My dear friends, Sometimes, life gives us a second chance to step into a photograph we thought had faded. This is the story of one such gift —a get-together of the  Ballia Babuas  on  07.01.2026  at the  Ramapriya Convention, Vijayawada . It began, as all beautiful things often do, with a simple message. About fifteen days prior, our dear friend  Mr. Ramachandra Rao Ji  posted an invitation in our WhatsApp group—a digital call that echoed across years and kilometres. Day by day, he added names to an animated list, each confirmation a spark rekindling a fire that had last burned in  Ballia , a town in eastern Uttar Pradesh on the banks of the Ganga. For those who may not know, Ballia is more than a place on a map. It is where our former Prime Minister, Shri Chandra Sekhar, hailed from. It is where the SMMTPG College once opened its doors to students from Andhra Pradesh, offering a bridge—a one-year Remedial Course—that allowed us to pursue dreams i...

My Ballia Memories

My dear frineds, Greetings to you all. In this post I am sharing my memories attached to "Ballia", where I studied the one year Remedial Course and 2 years M.Sc(Ag) Economics Course, from 1980 to 83, in the SMMTPG College, Ballia.  Folloing is our College Photo. This is the back side of the college. After receipt of the front side photo, I will update it.   During the 1st year, I stayed in the College Hostel. And for the next two years, along with    Mr. Lakshmi Narayana [a M.Sc course student from Vijayawada], I took a Room on rent, in the Police Lines, Ballia. The House owner was Mrs. Suseela Gupata, a teacher. She, her Son     Mr. Suneel and we both students, use to stay in that House. Mr. Lakshminarayana vacated the room after completion of his course. Then Mr. Kishore, Mr. Ramesh Babu, Mr. A V Ramana Reddy and Mr. Surendra become my roommates.  Following are my M.Sc(Ag) Economics Course batchmetes. 1. R. G. Upadyay, Associate Professor 2. Dr....
