A retired tehsil employee, Jatindra Baitha, residing in Gopa village under the panchayat in Keonjhar district, was reportedly a victim of burglary late Saturday night. According to sources, the burglars managed to get away with cash and gold ornaments worth a staggering Rs 10 lakh and Rs 10,000 respectively. These valuable possessions were kept in an almirah, which the burglars allegedly broke open before fleeing the scene. The incident was reported to the Nandipada police station on Sunday morning and a case has been registered as the authorities have begun their investigation.
The motive behind this heinous act seems to be the upcoming marriage of Baitha's daughter, as he had been saving up the money and ornaments for the occasion. It was during the night when Baitha and his family were fast asleep that the robbers made their way into the room, where the almirah was kept. They gained entry by cutting the window grill and proceeded to loot the valuables. To make their escape, they locked the room from the inside and made their way out through the same window. It was only in the morning that the family discovered the door to the room locked.
Upon further inspection, it was revealed that the window grills had been cut and the almirah had been broken into, with the cash and ornaments missing. The police have confirmed that among the stolen items were two gold necklaces, gold bangles, three pairs of gold earrings, and several gold rings. Efforts are being made by the authorities to apprehend the burglars at the earliest and bring them to justice. As the investigation continues, the community remains shocked and worried about the safety of their homes.
