The incident occurred at Nirupama Enclave on Chilarai Path, where a gang of masked thieves targeted multiple flats in Block A of the residential complex. Taking advantage of the absence of homeowners, the miscreants forcibly broke into two flats and decamped with cash and valuables.
The affected flats belong to Dibya Nath and Manomaya Devi, whose residences were ransacked during the break-in. Residents believe the gang had planned the operation in advance, as they attempted to force entry into several other flats before fleeing the scene.
