Thieves Flee After Woman Wakes Up During Rs 3.22 Lakh House Burglary

Thieves targeted the house of a former ration dealer in Bahadurpur Bhup village under the Kotwali area of Sadabad during the midnight intervening Tuesday and Wednesday. They allegedly took around Rs 3.22 lakh in cash, silver anklets and toe rings, new clothes and nearly five litres of country-made ghee from a box kept inside a room.

During the theft, the woman present in the house woke up. She saw a man coming out of the house and raised an alarm. The thieves then fled from the spot.

Shri Krishna, son of Ramswaroop and a resident of Bahadurpur Bhup, had earlier worked as a ration dealer. At present, he lives in the village with his wife, while their children stay in Sadabad.

According to the information, Shri Krishna’s wife got up at around a quarter past one on Tuesday night to relieve herself. At that time, she saw a person coming out of the house. After she raised an alarm, Shri Krishna also woke up.

The couple went into the room and found the belongings scattered. When they checked the box, they found that the cash and other items kept inside it were missing.

Shri Krishna told the police that he had collected around 3 lakh 22 thousand rupees from different places to arrange fertiliser, seeds and other items on credit. He had kept the money between clothes inside the box. The thieves allegedly took the entire amount.

Several pairs of silver anklets and toe rings, new clothes and nearly five litres of country-made ghee were also kept in the box. These items were also stolen.

As soon as information about the incident spread, a large number of villagers gathered at the spot. The police reached the house, inspected the scene and collected information from people living nearby.

Considering the seriousness of the incident, a forensic team was also called to the spot. The team collected fingerprints and other evidence from the room.
