Thieves struck at a mobile shop in the Jodhewal Basit area and decamped with 120 mobile phones, seven pen drives, five memory cards, two head phones and Rs 35,000 cash.
The incident came to light when residents of the locality found the locks of the shop broken and informed the shop owner Amit Kumar, a resident of New Madhopuri, about the incident.
He said the thieves might have struck at midnight and decamped with cash, mobile phones and accessories. The Jodhewal police have registered a case and started the investigation.
Workers stage dharna
Hundreds of workers along with labour union leaders staged a dharna at a factory unit seeking compensation for their colleague who died in a road accident a few days ago.
The labour union leaders said Hirday Lal, who died in the road accident, was the only breadwinner of the family.
The situation became tense when the factory owner refused to offer money.
The police also reached the spot to tackle any eventuality. Finally, the factory owner issued two cheques of Rs 31,000, respectively, on the name of Hirday Lal’s two daughters.
