Doctor’s house in hospital campus burgled, Rs 13L stolen

Rajkot: A doctor working in a hospital in Wankaner town of Morbi district lodged a complaint against unidentified persons for stealing Rs 13 lakh from his home on the night of August 8.
According to police, Dr Sajid Hasan Pasaliya (35), who works in a hospital managed by a trust, suspects that someone known may have been involved in the theft as the cash kept in a safe was stolen using a duplicate key.
“My wife Urjma went to Junagadh on August 2 and I went to Rajkot on August 8 to meet my friend. My wife returned home on August 9 and found Rs 13 lakh stolen when she checked the safe. Also, the thieves did not steal jewellery and other cash kept in the safe. Thieves used duplicate keys to enter the house and open the safe,” Hasan said in his complaint.
The doctor lives within the hospital campus. He checked CCTV footage and found one person covered with a mask with a bag coming out of his home.
“The doctor suspects that one of his family members may be involved in the crime. Out of Rs 13 lakh, he had borrowed Rs 8 lakh from members of his family to buy a house,” police sources said.
