Valuable worth lakhs of rupees were burgled from eight houses in Daulatpura, Kokta under Bilkharia police station area in the wee hours on Tuesday.
According to the police miscreants targeted around 7-8 houses and took gold and silver ornaments along with cash from the houses. A complaint was lodged by Hari Singh Gurjar with Bilkharia police regarding the burglary.
Raju Singh, Dhan Singh and Pritam Singh were among the other victims. According to sources Dhan Singh’s wife woke up after she heard some noise but was threatened to keep mum by one of the masked armed miscreant who kept knife on her neck. When the miscreants moved outside the house she mustered courage and raised alarm after which the locals and her husband were alerted but the miscreants managed to escape with valuables.
Police have denied such kind of incident and after preliminary investigation have registered a case of trespassing and burglary. Others who have lost their valuables have not witnessed any armed miscreants but they have confirmed that the number of miscreants might be around a dozen as eight houses were burgled with a very short time period.
In the investigation the police have found that miscreants have targeted valuables which raised suspicion that they were aware about the valuables and some one have tipped regarding the same.
Interestingly all the residents of houses which were burgled were present at the time of the incident but the victims remained asleep. It is possible that the miscreants have used some kind of spray.
