GREATER NOIDA: Cash and jewelry apparently worth Rs 18 lakh had been burgled from the home of a senior official of the National Thermal Power Corporation on Sunday afternoon when the family was once away buying groceries.
The family of BC Galav, deputy normal supervisor at NTPC, suspects guards on the gated neighborhood in Greater Noida’s Pi I sector had tipped off burglars that the family was once no longer at home. While Galav is posted in Allahabad, his wife and two kids survive the first floor of a three-storey space, the place the remaining floors are occupied by way of furnishings and different such items.
Galav’s son Nishant mentioned the housebreaking could no longer were carried out with out help from “insiders” in the housing society, pointing out that a few other people knew that the family had stocked money at home because of his sister’s marriage ceremony.
The theft at Galav’s house is the second one such incident since May 14, when the house of Vibha Chahal, an IAS officer posted at Greater Noida authority, was once burgled. The housebreaking at Chahal’s space had raised several questions on security in the area as the building is correct subsequent to the residence of then SP (rural) Suniti. One of the alleged burglars was once arrested following a shootout this Friday.
Galav and his family had left for buying groceries around 2.30pm on Sunday after locking the primary gate in their three-storey space and the door on the first floor, the place the family lives. The doors on the different two floors had been locked from inside.
Nishant instructed TOI the family returned from the market around 7pm and located locks on the primary gate and the first-floor door damaged. “My sister Neha entered the home first. She found no longer handiest the locks damaged, however hinges twisted as well. Almirahs in the first-floor bedroom had been damaged and the lockers inside empty,” Nishant mentioned.
The family pointed out that the burglars had handiest centered the first-floor rooms the place they lived and left the remaining two floors untouched. According to Nishant, who works with EXL Service India, an operations control and analytics company, the crowd escaped with Rs 12 lakh money and jewelry worth Rs 6 lakh saved in the almirahs. A pc and three smartphones saved on a table within reach had been left untouched. “Some other people knew that my sister’s marriage ceremony was once being planned. There appears to be a motive. A couple of construction workers near our home and the guards manning the primary gate had been the only ones who noticed us leaving. Any of them may well be concerned,” he mentioned.
The housing society has two gates — the primary front is open and manned throughout the day while the opposite one is open handiest between 5pm and 7pm. Police mentioned even though they'd sourced pictures from CCTV cameras put in near the primary front, the visuals were not transparent and made it difficult to spot any individual. The sector RWA has known as officers of the non-public company that had put in the cameras to get the pictures enhanced.
The register maintained by way of guards on the primary gate does no longer have any access between 6pm and 7pm. A forensic crew has taken footprints and fingerprints from the first floor of the home and police are trying to test details of calls made in the area.
SP (rural) Ashish Shrivastava mentioned police had been investigating the case and trying to search for proof.
