Unidentified burglars broke into the official residence of Nagaur MP and Rashtriya Loktantrik Party chief Hanuman Beniwal in Jaipur, barely 30 metre away from the police station, and fled with cash and several valuables earlier this week, the police said.
The Jalupura police have registered a case and initiatied a probe into the matter.
Informing about the crime on Twitter, Beniwal said, тАЬToday, a case of theft came to my notice at my official residence in Jalupura, Jaipur. As soon as I got the information, I went to the spot and spoke to the state home secretary regarding the matter.тАЭ
тАЬThe incident in a residence just 30 metre away from the Jalupura police station and just 200 metre away from Jaipur police commissionerate is a big blot on the police system,тАЭ he said.
тАЬSome cash, jewellery and documents were stolen from the residence, and an FIR has also been lodged. The law-and-order situation in the state has collapsed and thieves and criminals are committing offences fearlessly,тАЭ he tweeted.
In the FIR, lodged by BeniwalтАЩs employee Om Prakash, states that the MP came on December 25 and left the very next day. On December 29, he along with BeniwalтАЩs wife, children and a security officer reached the bungalow around 10 pm and found that the locks were broken and things were stolen.
The complaint mentioned around тВ╣1.50 lakh in cash, silver and gold jewellery, blankets, quilts, taps and bathroom accessories were among the things stolen from the house.
Earlier on July 16 this year, a car belonging to BeniwalтАЩs MLA brother Narayan was stolen from his residence in Shyam Nagar area of Jaipur. The vehicle was later traced to Jodhpur two days later.
