In most unfortunate incident, thieves decamped with valuables including diamond jewelry worth Rs three crore and Rs 60,000 cash from a bungalow in Defence Colony area in the national capital, police said on Tuesday.

The senior police officer said, “The burglary was reported from the bungalow of one Tanmay Seth in the posh Anand Lok residential area in Defence Colony on Sunday night.”

The theft was disclosed when the family returned from the marriage ceremony, in the wee hours of Monday.

Nupur Prasad, additional DCP-I (South) told to Hindustan Times, “The incident was reported around 4am on Monday and the family told the police that the main gate was left open so that they don’t have to wake up anyone when they returned. A window of the house was not bolted and the thieves had an easy entry.”

CCTV cameras too were not installed there, Police added.

A case has been registered at the Defence Colony police station.
The maids and servant and locals including security guards of the residential area were thoroughly questioned but there is no clue about burglars so far.
