Kanpur: Two thieves broke into the bungalow of former minister Amarjit Singh in the Kakadev area on Wednesday in broad daylight, according to police reports. The incident took place around 2 pm when the servant, working on the lawn, noticed the intruders entering the property by jumping over the gate of a neighbouring closed bungalow.
Upon seeing the thieves, the servant raised the alarm, prompting Amarjit Singh's son, Amit Pratap Singh, along with other family members, to chase after them. The police were alerted and quickly arrived at the scene. Despite their efforts, one thief managed to escape, while the other attempted to hide by covering himself with a blanket. A vigilant neighbour spotted the hiding suspect and informed the police, who successfully apprehended him.
Amarjit Singh, a former MLA from Bindki, resides in the bungalow located in Pandu Nagar, where his younger son Amit lives with his wife and children.
Kakadev Police Station in-charge Manoj Singh stated that the arrested suspect has been identified as Baba, a resident of Pukhrayan in Kanpur Dehat. A case has been registered against him, and the police are currently gathering information about his accomplice.
