Paralakhemundi: Throwing an open challenge to police, some unidentified miscreants have looted cash and gold jewellery worth lakhs after breaking into the house of a resident in Rajadanda Sahi area under Paralakhemundi police limits in Gajapati district last night.
The victim identified as V.V. Ravana Murty was on a visit to Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh along with his family for a health check-up when the burglary took place. A group of burglars entered his house late in the night by breaking open the locks of the main gate and decamped with cash worth Rs 8 lakh and gold jewellery weighing around 6 tola (70 gram).
