Burglars Target Deputy Collector's House in Bhopal, Stealing Valuables Worth Over Rs 11 Lakh
Imagine a special house belonging to a helper for the city, named Alka.
She had to go away for a little while to take care of her husband.
While she was gone, some sneaky people broke into her house.
They took away pretty things made of gold and silver, and some expensive watches.
All these things were worth a lot of money, like more than a million little coins!
When Alka came back, she found her house door broken and her special things gone.
The police are now looking for the sneaky people, but it's hard because there were no cameras watching the house.
Burglars targeted the locked government residence of Deputy Collector Alka Singh Vamankar in Bhopal's Char Imli area.
Valuables including gold, silver jewelry, and costly watches worth over Rs 11 lakh were stolen.
The theft occurred while the deputy collector was away for 15 days for her husband's medical treatment.
Police have registered a case and detained some suspects for questioning.
The incident raises concerns about security in the high-security Char Imli zone, despite recent theft incidents.
