Police in Bhopal reported that three masked individuals forced open a vacant residence in the Indra Vihar colony by breaking five locks. The thieves made off with gold and silver ornaments along with cash, the total value being estimated at Rs 33.45 lakh.
The owners of the house were away celebrating Diwali in their native village, leaving the property unoccupied at the time of the burglary. Investigators recovered no immediate leads, but the forced entry suggests a pre‑planned operation.

The incident has raised concerns among residents of the colony about security, prompting local authorities to consider increased patrolling and awareness campaigns during the festive season.
