Burglars Steal Cash and Gold from Ludhiana House Ahead of Wedding

In Dugri, Ludhiana, burglars broke into Rajinder Sharma's house around 4:20 am, stealing approximately Rs 4 lakh in cash and 250 grams (25-30 tolas) of gold jewellery intended for his son's upcoming wedding. CCTV footage showed two suspects, one entering the house and the other keeping watch outside. Despite a private security guard on duty, the thieves misled him by claiming to set up a wedding tent. Police have registered an FIR and are investigating using the footage to identify the accused.
