A family’s absence from their Kapil Nagar home to attend a church program provided an opportunity for burglars to break in and steal valuables worth Rs 2.06 lakh.
The complainant, Chittaranjan Vidhyadhar Avnikar, 64, a resident of Quarter No. B/09, NIT Quarters, Kapil Nagar, Uppalwadi, stated that the burglary occurred on December 1 between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm. Avnikar and his family had locked their house and gone to Samta Nagar Church for a prayer service.
During this time, unidentified burglars broke the lock on the main door, entered the house, and looted Rs 5,500 in cash along with gold and silver ornaments stored in a metal cupboard.
Kapil Nagar Police have registered a case under Sections 305(A) and 331(3) of the BBS based on Avnikar’s complaint.
