Thieves allegedly broke into a locked house in Khokhara and decamped with cash and gold and silver jewellery worth a total of ₹9 lakh while the family was away on a pilgrimage to Rajasthan.
The incident took place at House No. 11 in Dalal Society, where Vaibhav Joshi, a manager at a finance company, lives with his wife and mother-in-law. Joshi had travelled to the Devmali temple in Rajasthan two days ago with his wife, mother-in-law and brother-in-law.
Taking advantage of the family’s absence, unidentified thieves broke into the house and searched the cupboards and household belongings. They allegedly stole ₹1.50 lakh in cash along with gold and silver jewellery, with the total value of the stolen property estimated at ₹9 lakh.
Neighbour Alerts Family to Burglary
Before Joshi and his family could return, a neighbour noticed that the house had been ransacked and informed him over the phone. The family was shocked to learn about the theft.
Joshi subsequently approached the local police and lodged a complaint. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation to identify the suspects and trace the stolen valuables.
