A peculiar incident of burglary has come to light from the high-security Lutyens zone in the national capital, targeting bungalow number 18 on Ferozeshah Road. The premises serve as the official government residence of BJP Rajya Sabha MP Dr Radha Mohan Das Agrawal. Delhi Police were alerted about the break-in on Sunday morning, following which investigation teams swiftly rushed to the site to inspect the bungalow and initiate inquiries.
Break-in at an Unoccupied House
The MP's official residence was unoccupied at the time of the trespass, which seemingly provided the culprits an opportunity to rummage through the property unchecked. Initial assessments revealed that the intruders dismantled and stole bathroom water taps, essential fittings, and even took away a sewer lid from the premises. Because no occupants were present at the bungalow, authorities could not immediately determine whether additional valuables, household goods, or official documents were taken. A comprehensive inventory of missing belongings will be compiled only after the lawmaker's family members arrive and inspect the premises.
Police Approach CPWD over Maintenance Access
The unusual nature of the theft in an otherwise tightly guarded political district has prompted investigators to probe all angles, including the motives behind stealing sanitary fixtures and drainage covers. Police officials are coordinating with the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) to gather details regarding ongoing upkeep and maintenance history. Investigators are examining records of staff, service personnel, and technicians who had legitimate access to the bungalow for regular servicing or structural maintenance.
Complete Assessment Awaits Family Arrival
Further legal steps and verification of the premises depend on the arrival of the parliamentarian's family, who are scheduled to reach Delhi by Sunday evening. Upon their arrival, an end-to-end check of the residence will confirm whether the theft was confined to exterior fittings and plumbing components or if interior rooms were also ransacked. Meanwhile, police teams continue to analyze surrounding movement and trace potential suspects linked to the break-in.
