Burglars broke into the residence of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Yashpal Singh Sisodia here and decamped with Rs. 20-25 lakh cash and 50 grams of gold, police said on Thursday.
At the time of the incident there was no one inside the house, located close to the government district hospital, as Mr. Sisodia had gone to Indore on personal work.
“There was no one in the house, and taking advantage of the situation, unidentified thieves decamped with nearly Rs. 20-25 lakh cash and 50 grams of gold,” Mr. Sisodia said.
Superintendent of Police Mandsaur Manoj Sharma reached the spot to enquire about the incident. ‘Insider job’ Mr. Sisodia suspected that the theft was carried out by someone who knew exactly where the cash and gold were kept as the other rooms remained untouched. “It appears that they have used duplicate keys to open the almirah and its locker to decamp with the booty. However, they did not take away jewellery worth Rs. 2-3 lakh lying in the same almirah,” he said.
