Burglary in Ahmedabad’s Jamalpur area, valuables, cash amounting to ₹6 lakh stolen

In a brazen act of burglary in Ahmedabad’s Jamalpur locality, an unknown miscreant is reported to have broken into a residential flat and made away with gold, silver ornaments and cash amounting to an estimated ₹5,89 lakh. The incident took place on the morning of April 11 while the occupants of the house were away on a religious visit to Bhadiyad.

Junaid Sajidbhai Kharawala(25), resident of Flat Glass Masjid near Aftab Bakery, Jamalpur, in his complaint stated that he had left home around 10 am with his family for a scheduled visit to the dargah at Bhadiyad. 

Upon his return home around 10 pm, he found that he could not open the main door despite unlocking it. Suspecting it was bolted from the inside, he called his father to report the situation and was advised to document the scene and alert the authorities.

Upon forcing their entry, the family discovered that one of the windows had been pried open. The intruder is believed to have accessed the hall from this point, then proceeded to the bedroom where the lock of a wooden cupboard had been broken open using an unidentified tool.

Among the stolen items were gold ornaments, diamond jewellery, silver ornaments and cash amounting to ₹1.70 lakh. The cumulative value of the stolen property stands at ₹5.89 lakh.

No arrests have been made yet. Police at Gaikwad Haveli have registered the FIR and launched an investigation. Forensic experts are expected to examine the scene for fingerprints and potential clues.
