Thief in PM Modi mask steals phones from Rajasthan shop, caught on camera
CCTV footage showed one of the burglars who targeted a mobile phone shop in Rajasthan's Bhilwara wearing a mask with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face printed on it.
Burglars who broke into a mobile phone shop in Rajasthan’s Bhilwara were allegedly caught on CCTV, with one of them wearing a mask featuring the face of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to hide his identity.
The theft took place around midnight at Mateshwari Mobile Shop where the accused allegedly broke into the store by forcing open the staircase gate from the roof before escaping with dozens of smartphones.
Shop owner Laxman Sen said he found the store ransacked when he opened it the next morning, with mobile phones missing and goods scattered across the shop. He estimated that 30 to 40 smartphones worth around Rs 4-5 lakh had been stolen.
CCTV footage from the shop purportedly captured one of the suspects wearing a PM Modi mask while carrying out the burglary.
Kareda police station officer Puranmal Meena reached the spot with a team, inspected the scene and registered a case. Police have launched an investigation and are working to identify and trace the suspects.
The incident has sparked concern among traders in Kareda, who have demanded stronger night patrolling in the area.
In another incident the same night, thieves allegedly attempted to break into another mobile store, Sanwariya Mobile Shop, near the Seed Godown intersection in Kareda. CCTV footage from that location also showed a suspect wearing a similar mask while trying to break the shutter lock.
