Police Solve Burglary Case at Former Minister Niranjan Patnaik’s Home, Stolen Jewellery Recovered
The Commissionerate Police have successfully arrested the suspect behind the burglary at the residence of former Odisha Minister Niranjan Patnaik. The theft took place on the night of January 25, just before Republic Day, at his home in IRC Village, Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar.
According to the police complaint, the burglar stole ₹2.5 lakh in cash and gold jewellery worth around ₹50 lakh. After an intensive investigation, the police recovered the stolen jewellery from the suspect.
Interestingly, the same person is also linked to another burglary at the home of a well-known individual, leading police to widen their probe into similar cases in the area.
While this arrest has brought relief to the Patnaik family and local residents, it has also raised concerns about security in the city. Authorities are now working on improving safety measures, especially in high-profile neighborhoods.
This incident has sparked discussions on the need for better surveillance systems and stronger policing to tackle sophisticated crimes in urban areas.
Police are continuing their investigation to trace the suspect’s network and recover more stolen items. Meanwhile, they are urging the public to stay alert and report any suspicious activity to help maintain safety in the community.
