A Godhni-based convent school became the latest target of the burglars. The theft, which came to notice on Tuesday morning, was second such incident at the same site in three months. The incident of minor theft of cash of around Rs 1500 at Delhi Public Convent refreshed the memories of dacoity at the Wonderland High School in which two security men were injured.
The burglars appear to have gained entry after breaking open the lock of the administrative office located at the ground floor in the doublestorey premises. They ransacked the room searching for cash and other valuables but were unable to lay hands on much loot. The cash, basically kept for scholarship of the students, was stolen from the locker of the steel almirah whose lock was found broken. Incidentally, cash was stolen from the same almirah in similar fashion three months ago. Fortunately for the school management, cash around Rs 20-22,000 was shifted by principal Ashwini Patil on Monday from the office. Some more cash was distributed a couple of weeks back as salary.
Director Vinay Sharma’s cabin, attached to the office room, was also ransacked but nothing was stolen from there. “I fear losing important documents of the school. When there was a theft last time, we felt that it might be the handiwork of some local goons. This time we are taking it seriously. I have deployed private security from today onwards,” said Sharma who intends to meet city police chief Praveen Dixit requesting him to improve patrolling.
Sharma said that the school premises was left unmanned after the peon left in the evening. “We contacted the police immediately after the theft was noticed. The police co-operated with us,” said Sharma who informed that the school was worried after the recent theft reported at Gittikhadan police station. Though Koradi policeare yet to crack the dacoity at Wonderland High school, its director Gurjit Kaur appreciated the role of the police.
“The cops have really stepped up their effort. They are still questioning people in that connection. The patrolling has been intensified and a register for keeping tab on the patrolling has been also kept at the school premises,” said Kaur. The dacoits carried the locker out of the administrative office, could not take cash from it. In an earlier incident, miscreants had targeted CP and Berar college. Anup Kumar Singh, additional CP, crime, felt this is the handiwork of miscreants trying their luck wherever they can.
