The Sugandh family’s home at Riddhi Apartments in Quetta Colony, Nagpur, became the target of an unidentified robber on Monday morning after the Laxmi Puja celebration.
The Sugandh family, who own a company, had finished their Diwali Puja rites and gone to bed, leaving their house doors open because they believe Goddess Laxmi visits homes on this day.
While the family was asleep, the thief took advantage of the open doors and entered the premises unnoticed. The theft included the disappearance of nine gold biscuits, three silver deities, cash amounting to Rs 80,000, and a valuable mobile phone from the household.
The family became aware of the burglary when their domestic help arrived later in the morning and discovered the missing valuables. Promptly, an offense report was filed at the Lakadganj Police Station, who have initiated an investigation into the incident.
Lakadganj police authorities have acquired CCTV footage from the vicinity and have taken an auto-rickshaw driver into custody for further questioning. The ongoing investigation aims to trace the perpetrator and recover the stolen items
