The miscreants entered the home by breaking the locks on the rear doors when there was nobody inside the house. They reportedly stole 120 grams of gold, 60 grams of silver jewellery, and more than Rs 50,000 after breaking the cupboards and an almirah.
Subsequently, they attempted a burglary at another house. As they were cutting the iron grill of Himanshu Tarei’s home in the same village, Himanshu and his mother spotted them and shouted, causing the miscreants to flee the scene.
