A thief in Lucknow broke into a home, fell asleep in the air conditioning, and was awoken by the police.

As the summer months approach, India has been facing an intense heatwave unlike any other in recent years. The sweltering temperatures have been affecting daily life in unexpected ways, causing people to seek refuge wherever they can find it.
In the city of Lucknow, a peculiar incident occurred that left both the police and the homeowner scratching their heads. A thief, who had broken into a house with the intention of stealing, stumbled upon the living room's air conditioner and couldn't resist its tempting coolness. Rather than making a swift escape with his loot, the thief decided to take a quick nap and enjoy the refreshing air. Little did he know that this decision would lead to an unexpected wake-up call from the police.
The incident took place in the early hours of June 2nd, a hot and humid Sunday morning. The targeted house was located in the Indiranagar area, and its owner, Dr. Sunil Pandey, was away on business in Varanasi. With the coast clear, the thief managed to enter the house by simply opening the front gate.
Once inside, the thief made his way to the living room, where he noticed the air conditioner. Without hesitation, he switched it on, made himself comfortable on the floor, and dozed off with his head resting on a cushion.
Meanwhile, Dr. Pandey's observant neighbors noticed the open front gate and became suspicious. They immediately contacted the homeowner, who was not in Lucknow at the time, and informed him of the situation. Concerned for his property, Dr. Pandey promptly alerted the police.
Upon arrival, the police were met with an unexpected sight. The thief was sound asleep on the living room floor, with the air conditioner still running. In a photo taken by the officers, the thief can be seen holding a mobile phone in his right hand, completely unaware of his surroundings.
According to DCP North Zone R Vijay Shankar, the thief had indeed entered the house with the intention of stealing, but his plans were foiled by his heavy intoxication. "He was heavily drunk, which is why he fell asleep and couldn't wake up. It was reported by the neighbors, after which he was arrested," the officer explained to India Today.
The police have stated that further action will be taken in this matter. However, one thing is for sure; this thief's attempt at a quick robbery was unexpectedly thwarted by the irresistible allure of an air conditioner on a scorching summer day.
