By Archana Sharma Jaipur, March 1 : Tunnel trends seem to be the new innovation catching up with riches in this design city but for all the wrong reasons.
Recently, thieves were caught stealing silver buried in a tunnel while unaccounted income was earlier unearthed from a huge tunnel in the first-of-its-kind case in this city.
In a recent incident, thieves allegedly stole a huge quantity of silver kept in a box buried in the basement of a Jaipur doctor’s house after digging a 20 feet long and 15 feet deep tunnel.
Police said the accused planned the entire robbery meticulously and purchased a house right behind the doctor’s house for Rs 87 lakh in January. They later covered its boundary wall with tin sheds to block the view and started the digging work.
The accused dug the tunnel from the newly purchased house and reached the exact location where the box was buried. They cut open the box and stole the silver.
Dr Sunit Soni, running a hair transplant clinic, came to know about this theft when he saw the flooring of the basement was uneven and dug it up on Wednesday.
