Nagpur: A 60 year old careless woman extended an ‘open’ invitation to burglars by keeping the door of her house ajar. Taking advantage of the open door the unidentified burglar(s) relieved the woman of gold-silver jewellery and cash collectively valued at Rs 3,92,950. Cops are now searching the thief.

Asha was relieved of booty collectively valued at Rs 3,92,950.

On the basis of Asha’a complaint, Sonegaon PSI Neware registered an offence against the unidentified accused thief under Section 380 of IPC and probing the matter further.
