JAMSHEDPUR – Thieves broke into the Birsanagar home of retired TELCO employee Devendra Singh, who was in Delhi for treatment.
Devendra Singh had left the responsibility of house-watching to neighbor Ramakrishna Rao.

Upon reaching the scene, Rao discovered that the main door and the locks of three rooms were broken.
Belongings were strewn across the floor, with an inverter left outside.
He immediately informed the Birsanagar police, who conducted an investigation.
