Bengaluru rains: Three villas robbed in flooded area

Bengaluru: Three villas in Bengaluru’s Rainbow Drive Layout in Halanayakanahalli, off Sarjapur Road, in southeast Bengaluru, were broken into in an odd burglary incident after the occupants left their homes due to incessant rains according to a report by The Times of India.

Due to flooding and waterlogging, several residents of the area were compelled to seek shelter at hotels or the residences of relatives. Taking advantage of the situation, robbers entered the complex late on 09 September 2022 and fled after robbing three villas with gold, diamonds, and other valuables. The worth of the stolen goods, according to the police, is yet to be estimated.

The alleged incident of robbing came to light on 10 September 2022 when the three owners returned to their residences for checking the flood situation. According to the police, the villas are owned by  Dharmateja G, a businessman, and Manjunath N and Uday Bhaskar B, software engineers.

Bellandur police has registered the three cases under IPC section 380 (theft in dwelling house) and 457 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking by night to commit an offence punishable with imprisonment) after the owners lodged the complaint. A special team has been formed to keep a track of the case.

Waterlogging caused due to heavy rainfall compelled the owners to shift from their residences for a few days.

Dharmateja shifted to a relative’s house with his family on 9 September 2022 around 5pm. Next morning when he returned back to his house at 10.45am, the villa was robbed and the miscreants had broken the main door and fled with gold and diamond jewellery, according to The Times of India report.
