BHOPAL : Unidentified burglars targeted a garment shop in the Akriti Garden Colony at Nehru Nagar within the limits of Kamla Nagar police station on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday. The colony has covered campus and security guards were present at the gates. The burglars decamped with branded clothes to the tune of Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 7000 cash kept in the drawer of the shop. The houses of many high profile persons including the Governor of Haryana Kaptan Singh Solanki are located in the colony.

TI Kamla Nagar Mukhtar Qureshi said that the victim shop owner Pramod Singh Bains, 38, son of Dulare Singh, resident of Akriti Garden Nehru Nagar in his complaint to the police stated that he runs a Kirana Shop in the Pragati commercial complex inside the colony campus while his wife runs a readymade garments and gift shop besides his shop.

The incident took place after 10pm on Saturday night when they closed the shops. There were two security guards at the main entrance gate of the colony who remained clueless of the incident.
