The incident took place on Friday night between 2 am and 5 am at the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) colony.

One of the victims, Avinash Karate, said, “My family and I were sleeping in the bedroom. When we woke up at 5 am, the main door was left ajar. When I checked the house, only sarees and important documents had gone missing.”

A case has been registered with the Manikpur police. “They stolen sarees were worth R1,200,” a police officer said.
