A bizarre theft case has emerged in Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh. A thief broke into a house with the intention of looting it, but things took an unexpected turn. In the closed house, he first cleaned some jewelry and packed other valuables. He even managed to uproot the wash basin and Tullu pump. However, the sweltering heat of Lucknow got the better of him. Seeking some respite, he switched on the AC and decided to rest, a decision that proved costly. 

Thieves stole several things 

This peculiar incident occurred at the residence of Dr. Sunil Pandey in Sector 20 of Indira Nagar, Lucknow. Dr. Pandey, who holds a senior position at Balrampur Hospital, is currently posted in Varanasi. With the house unoccupied, it became a target for thieves. The intruders broke into the house, rummaged through shelves, and stole jewelry, a gas cylinder, a wash basin, and a Tullu pump.

Fell asleep after switching on AC

One of the thieves, heavily intoxicated, fell asleep inside the house while his accomplices fled the scene. When neighbors noticed the door ajar the next morning, they alerted both the landlord and RWA officials. A crowd soon gathered, and the police were called to the scene.
