Unidentified criminals have reportedly burgled a locked house of the sitting Bhagwanpur MlA Mamta Rakesh, located in Ramnagar, Bhagwanpur, Roorkee in Haridwar district and decamped with inverter, battery and gas cylinder on Friday night. Police sources said that the criminals had entered the house after jumping the wall. Police further said that the MlA occasionally visited the house. However, the house was used during the election campaign.
One of her relatives informed Gangnahar police after he found the house burgled. The MlA was informed too. A team led by Roorkee CO SK Singh rushed to the house. A case under appropriate sections of IPC was registered against unidentified persons in the Gangnahar police station. Some suspects were being questioned and the case would soon be cracked, Singh added.
