A heartbreaking incident has surfaced in the Dungarpur district, where a household grappling with the sudden loss of their young son was dealt another severe blow by criminals. In Kanba village under the Bichiwara police station jurisdiction, unidentified intruders targeted a home and made off with a massive amount of cash and gold and silver ornaments. The brazen theft has left the already devastated family in complete distress as they struggle to cope with the mounting tragedies.
The Heist Occurred While the Family Slept Nearby
Nitya Sadu stated that her brother Ritesh Sadu lost his life on the night of October 20 in a severe collision involving a scooty and a bike near Oda Bada. Ever since that fatal mishap, an atmosphere of deep mourning had enveloped the household. On the night of the burglary, family members including the mother Asha, Nitya herself, an aunt, a maternal aunt, and sisters were resting inside a single room. Meanwhile, relatives Kamlesh Sadu, Mohan Sadu, and Atmaram Sadu were sleeping outside in the veranda. Nitya mentioned that she remained awake until around 3 AM before finally dozing off. Taking advantage of the quiet hours, the culprits approached the rear side of the house, removed the iron grille attached to the wire mesh, and gained unauthorized entry into the premises. Once inside, they forced open the locker of a wardrobe kept in the room.
Valuables Worth Lakhs Stolen Without Anyone Noticing
The miscreants decamped with gold and silver ornaments valued at approximately 6 lakh rupees alongside 2.25 lakh rupees in hard cash kept inside the locker. What remained baffling was that despite family members sleeping both inside the rooms and right outside in the veranda, not a single person had any inkling of the ongoing burglary. The theft only came to light the next morning when the residents woke up and discovered the ransacked almirah. Upon receiving the urgent information, local police from the Kanba outpost and Bichiwara station rushed to the spot. A specialized team from the Dungarpur SP office also arrived at the crime scene to gather evidence and initiate a thorough investigation.
Police Search Ongoing as Abandoned Items Found Nearby
During the preliminary inspection, police recovered artificial jewelry, a few other belongings, and a bag discarded in the fields located directly behind the house. However, the genuine precious jewelry and the total cash sum remained missing and unaccounted for. Authorities are currently scouring the area and conducting a detailed assessment of the crime scene to track down the perpetrators. This unfortunate criminal act has severely compounded the grief of a family that was already trying to recover from the irreparable loss of their son.
