In a shocking incident, a thief suffered a heart attack when he found that the money he had robbed was far in excess of his expectation. Seeing the amount, the thief became joyful and got a heart attack.
Reportedly, the thief had to spend an amount equivalent to 2 lakhs on his treatment.
Bijnor superintendent of police Dharm Veer Singh said two thieves broke into a public service centre owned by one Nawab Haider. Following a complaint lodged by Haider that over Rs 7 lakhs was stolen from the centre, police had registered a case against unidentified accused and launched a probe.
Apparently, the accused are habitual offenders and have several cases registered against them in different police stations. Later, they confessed to have committed a robbery at the public service centre and ran away with Rs 7 lakh cash and other valuables kept in an almirah. They informed the police that they had expected just a couple of thousand rupees at the centre, but were overjoyed after seeing such a huge amount and divided the amount equally.
