Condition of the house post robbery

Condition of the house post robbery

In an unfortunate incident, Nagpur Police on July 21 refused to investigate the house of a cop (working with Nagpur Rural) after a robbery of Rs 2 lakh. The cops 24-year-old son tested COVID-19 positive on July 12. As a result, his family members had to be institutionally quarantined.

Already plagued by COVID-19, the family members who reside at Kushinagar, had to also endure the negligence of Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) and the insensitivity of the police. The cops at Jaripatka Police Station argued that the NMC hadn’t sanitised the house since July 12 ? the day the family member tested COVID-19 positive ? hence found it risky to enter the house for probe.

Since no family member was living in the house, it remained locked for days. Also, the area around the cops house was declared as a containment zone. Therefore, all the roads leading to the area were cordoned-off.

The only member of the family who was positive was released post recovery from the hospital on the night of July 21. However, the other family members weren’t back home yet.

The son requested the NMC to sanitise the house so that the cops could investigate. But, by then the family had incurred huge financial loss as sanitisation of the house had also removed the fingerprints of the thieves, which made it even more difficult to trace them.

When Nation Next spoke to Police Inspector Kushal Tijare at Jaripatka Police Station, he said, On July 21, the cops son came back from MLA Hostel and that’s when he realised that a robbery had taken place in his house. In fact, the family members have a suspicion on a person, who was spotted by neighbours on the day of robbery.
