Kotwali police station in-charge Umrao Singh said Rs 30,000 cash and some jewellery items were stolen from the residence of Trilochan Singh Gaur, currently posted as a sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) at Khategaon town in the district.

The SDM came to know about the theft when he returned home on Saturday night after a gap of a fortnight. Notably, top district police officials live in the area where the SDM¡¯s official residence is located.

Singh said a hand-written note, possibly written by the burglar, was found at Gaur¡¯s residence. The thief apparently used the government officer¡¯s notepad and pen to write the note, police sources said.
