Burglar targets Gurgaon flat, steals Rs 12L jewellery, caught on camera
Gurgaon: A burglar broke into a ground-floor flat at a residential society in Sector 83 and stole Rs 12 lakh work jewellery on Sunday night. The incident, which took place 8:58pm, was captured on a CCTV camera. Footage showed a man entering the flat, Vatika G-21, in Tower C3 of the society. There was no one in the house at the time. The theft came to light the next day, around 12.30pm, when the family's domestic help found a broken piece of a gold earring inside the house and alerted the flat's owner. On checking the locker in the almirah, the owner found that all the gold jewellery was missing. "We went out for dinner on Sunday evening. The thief entered the flat through the kitchen balcony and took the gold jewellery. Nothing seemed out of place initially, and it was only when our help alerted my wife that we checked the almirah and discovered the theft," said the flat's owner, adding that they filed a police complaint and submitted the CCTV footage. An FIR was registered at Kherki Daula police station under section 305 of the BNS, pertaining to theft in a dwelling house. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Falck: À 29€/mois, cette mutuelle senior assure une protection totale Prio Santé En savoir plus Undo Police said they are scanning CCTV footage and trying to identify the suspect. "A team of the crime branch is also investigating the matter, and efforts are being made to trace the accused," a police spokesperson said. The society's RWA suspects that the intruder entered the society from a vulnerable point near Tower B1 and EWS blocks, where only temporary fencing is in place instead of a boundary wall. In April this year, TOI reported that the DTCP directed the developer to restore the incomplete boundary wall, but no action was taken. Last year in Dec, DTCP investigated the matter on complaints by residents and found that the developer illegally created a passage by breaching the boundary wall and removing designated parking bays to carve out an unauthorised road from the 24m internal road. Subsequently, a show-cause notice was issued in Jan, and restoration orders were issued in Feb and April. However, the boundary wall was not rebuilt. RWA members met police officials and demanded a separate FIR be filed against the developer.

HC temporarily restrains demolition 220 families' residences in Malegaon fort
MUMBAI: In a reprieve for 220 families residing in the Bhuikot Killa, the Malegaon fort, the Bombay high court on Friday restrained the revenue department from acting on demolition notices issued. The vacation bench of justice Gauri Godse and justice Somasekhar Sundaresan was hearing a petition filed by resident Mohammad Rajjab Khan, and other residents of the fort. According to the petition, the tourism and cultural affairs department of the state government issued a Government Resolution (GR) on January 20, instructing district collectors to remove all encroachments from the 47 forts protected by the Central Government and 62 forts protected by the archaeology department as per the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Rules, 1969. Following the GR, the Malegaon tehsildar issued eviction and demolition notices to the residents of the fort in March and April 2025, prompting them to approach the high court. Residents contended that they have been residing in the structures for 40 years and have necessary documents like electricity bills, house tax, water tax bills, ration cards etc. They added that an educational institute is running a school and a junior college at the fort's centre, and a separate girls' school is also located within the fort premises. These schools are using the open space in the fort as their playground. Demolition notices were issued to individual residents only, not these establishments, said the petitioners. Advocate Manisha Desai said a regular bench on May 8 granted protection to some residents after noting that schools and a gymkhana were functioning out of the fort area. The petitioner also claimed that the authorities turned a blind eye to several unauthorised structures within the fort and are selectively targeting the residents of the surrounding localities, falling outside the fort precinct. Desai also pointed out that the tehsildar passed fresh orders on May 26 for eviction and demolition of the residential structures. However, these were not served to the petitioners. Against this backdrop, the vacation bench restrained the revenue authorities from taking any coercive steps against the petitioners' structures. It also directed the additional government pleader Kavita N Solunke to take instruction as to whether the Tehsildar had passed any fresh orders for eviction and demolition and to file affidavits in reply to the petitions by June 10, when the petitions would come up for further hearing.
