According to officials, the stolen jewellery had been kept securely inside a household wardrobe. The family had recently hosted the wedding of the trader’s daughter, who had been staying at the home following the ceremony. The theft reportedly came to light when family members checked the almirah and found the valuables missing.
Police said a formal complaint has been registered, and a probe is underway to determine how the intruders gained access to the house and whether the crime involved insiders familiar with the family’s routine. Officers are examining the crime scene, reviewing potential CCTV footage in the vicinity, and questioning individuals who may have had knowledge of the jewellery’s location.
The incident has underscored growing concerns about residential security in densely populated areas of Meerut, especially during and after family events when valuable items are often stored at home. Authorities have urged residents to secure their belongings and report any suspicious activity promptly as the investigation continues.
