A case has been registered in the Nehru Colony police station and a team has been formed and they began searching the accused.
Rajiv Chauhan, resident of Mothrowala, registered a complaint in the Nehru Colony and stated that four or five persons with masks on forced into his house and at gun point, decamped with gold ornaments, cash `20, 000 and a car. This incident occurred around 3.30 am on Saturday. Police station in-charge, PK Koshyari said that taking cognisance of the complaint, a case under section 394 was registered against unidentified persons in the Nehru Colony police station on Saturday.

Crime cases are on the rise in the State capital over the past several months. Commenting on the rise in crime cases in the State capital, a senior police officer said police should conduct verification of the residents, especially in those areas where large number of migrants are residing. Police patrolling should intensify and police must seek cooperation from the people as every person is police sans uniform. Police should lay emphasis on developing its sources among the residents in the area too. This is the rudiment of policing to maintain peace and control the crimes, he added.
