3. Two House Burglars Nabbed, Four Thefts Solved
Cracking down on property crimes, Kaithal Police arrested Balvinder Singh of Kurukshetra and Sunil Kumar of Rohtak for a series of house burglaries in Kaithal and Jind districts.

During the police remand, the accused admitted to three more burglaries – one in Pundri and two in Jind’s Safidon area. The police recovered 5 tolas of stolen gold from them. Both were sent to judicial custody after completing remand.
