Overview

  • The burglary occurred in Indira Nagar after retired bank official Bhupal Singh and his family left for Delhi on June 8 for medical treatment.
  • Intruders made themselves at home by cooking Maggi noodles on the stove, leaving a half-open packet on a bed and running the air conditioner.
  • All household lockers were forced open, but no precious jewelry was taken since the family had already taken their valuables to Delhi, and the thieves escaped with primarily cash.
  • No formal complaint has been filed and police say they are awaiting the homeowners’ return before recording the case.
  • A similar incident in June 2024 saw a burglar looting another Indira Nagar home and falling asleep under the air conditioner, fueling residents’ calls for better security.
