According to police, Babulal Behera, an assistant engineer of Irrigation Department has alleged that his house was burgled on Sunday night.

The burglars have looted gold jewellery of 350 gms and cash worth Rs 2.25 lakh by breaking open their locker while the inmates were sleeping, police said quoting the FIR filed by Behera.

Behera claims that he had kept the cash of his brother-in-law who has a cooking gas agency.
