Man forgets to lock home, burglar decamps with valuables worth Rs70,000

Nagpur: Pawan Ninawe, residing at Harshal Nagar near Pipla phata, had rushed with his daughter, aged around one-year-old, to hospital forgetting to lock home after she had developed some illness on Saturday. Burglars found it almost a cakewalk to sneak away with valuables worth Rs70,000, including cash Rs4,000.
Police said Ninawe, working as a sales manager, was so perturbed with his daughter’s ailment that he had forgotten to lock the house while rushing out with her. He had requested a neighbour to lock the door as there was no one else at home when the family was hurriedly leaving. The neighbour had just closed the door from outside instead of locking it, said police.
The Ninawe family was left stunned after returning home as the valuables were missing from his place. The family was initially preoccupied with their only daughter’s ailment and later left befuddled with the burglary at home.
Police said the burglars did not have to toil hard for laying their hands upon the valuables which were kept in an unlocked almirah.
Hudkeshwar police, which have registered an offence following the complaint of the Ninawe family, also tried to recover some CCTV footage of the locality to spot any suspicious movement but no clues could be retrieved so far.
