Theft of lakhs from an abandoned house, 2 brothers arrested

Durg. Police have arrested an accused in the case of theft of Rs 13 lakh from the house of two brothers in Kumhari police station area of Durg district. It is being told that, after stealing from one brother’s house twice, he went to the other brother’s house to steal. Potter TI JR. Kurre said that on Saturday, Sunil Chaudhary, a resident of MPHB Colony, had filed a report that his elder brother Bansat Chaudhary had gone to Odisha on March 6 to attend the puja program. The next day he also left.

While going to Odisha, Sunil had asked an acquaintance Shashank to sleep in his house. On March 9, while sleeping downstairs, Shashank heard a sound from the upstairs room. So he called Sunil Chaudhary and told him. On which Sunil said that puja is taking place in the neighborhood, perhaps it would be his voice. When the accused Mahendra Sahu, after stealing in the upper part of the house for two days, came down with the intention of stealing, as soon as he entered the house, he came to know that the family had come into the house. Then he found Sunil. From whom he asked for money for food and drinks.

After that he ran away from there. Sunil became suspicious after seeing Mahendra Sahu like this. After his brother’s arrival, he went upstairs and saw that jewelery worth Rs 13 lakh and cash worth Rs 60 thousand were missing. The lock of the room was broken. The goods were also scattered. He reached the police station and lodged a report. When the police arrested and interrogated the accused Mahendra, he told that after seeing the deserted house, he had reached the roof through a water pipe. They broke the lock of the room and took away the gold and silver jewelery kept in the cupboard.
