Two persons can be seen in the CCTV footage accessed by Delhi police in connection with a major burglary in the Bhogal area of the national capital on Sunday night, said a police source.
However, police are yet to ascertain the exact number and identity of people involved in the crime. Police have identified at least five possible routes through which the burglars could have reached the roof of the building, added the source. Officials involved in the investigation have collected forensic evidence from all five neighbouring rooftops along with the fingerprints of people living in these houses. According to the police, thieves decamped with jewellery after creating a hole in the wall of the strong room of a shop in the Bhogal area with the owner stating that it had jewellery worth around Rs 20-25 crores.
