Bhubaneswar: In yet another house robbery in Bhubaneswar, jewellery and cash were looted from the residence in the absence of its owner late Tuesday night.
As per reports, Purnananda Bhoi, an Indian Railway employee and his family staying in Bhotapada under Mancheswar police limits of the city, had gone on a visit to their relatives on Tuesday. They had locked the house and the iron grill gate before their departure.
On their return home on Wednesday morning, they found the entire house messed up and the steel almirah open. When Purnananda checked the almirah, he found its locker broken open and gold jewellery worth around Rs 4 lakh and Rs 10,000 in cash missing.
