A WOMAN and her son landed in police net in Bhilai after being found involved in a house burglary, with stolen jewellery worth Rs 5.5 lakh recovered from their possession. Following their court appearance, both were remanded to judicial custody. Police identified the accused as Anuradha Jagat (42) and her son Dishu Jagat (20), residents of Zone-3, Khursipar. The case was lodged on the complaint of Sudarshan Kumar Kurre, a Ganesh Nagar resident, who reported that his house had been broken into on August 13, 2025, while he and his family were away in Balodabazar. Burglars forced open the lock and made away with ornaments worth nearly Rs 1.5 lakh.

 

Investigators examined CCTV footage and tapped but later admitted to the theft. Dishu Jagat confessed that he would pass the ornaments to his mother, who either sold or pledged them. Part of the stolen gold had already been disposed of in Dantewada, while some proceeds were used to purchase an iPhone. With the assistance of Dantewada Police, a significant portion of the stolen ornaments was recovered. The duo now faces charges under sections 331(4), 305, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
