According to police, there were no signs of forced entry into the flat as the main door remained intact.

“Prima facie, it appears that the suspect was aware of the jewellery and the keys… Of the three rooms, only one room had been checked (by suspects), where two almirahs were kept. The suspect touched one almirah to get the keys to another safe, where the jewellery was stored,” said an investigator.

In her police complaint, seen by HT, the victim, a teacher by profession and resident of ATS Dolce society, said, “On Thursday, around 12.20am, when my daughter and I returned from our native place in Bihar, we found the almirah locks opened and the items including jewellery were missing from it.”

Investigation found that the family had hired a house help around three months ago who is being interrogated, said officials.

The victim’s relative said, “The house help was hired through a society member. The estimated value of the jewellery would be revealed after my victim relative’s father, a retired government employee from Jamshedpur in Jharkhand, returns home on Friday. We found liquor bottles and two empty glasses in the room.”

Police said a case of theft was registered at the Surajpur police station on Thursday and an investigation is underway and CCTV cameras installed in the vicinity are being scanned.
