The audacious heist took place on Sunday night, presenting a significant security challenge in the vicinity.
Under the cover of darkness, the thieves mounted an assault on the school inspector’s office, posing a direct challenge to the nearby police patrols. This audacious operation resulted in the pilfering of valuable items amounting to several lakhs of rupees from the school inspector’s storage facilities.
