Thieves break into MLA’s house: Four thieves tried to break a locker at BJP MLA Rajkumar’s residence at Sahaspur in the middle of the night on Friday but ran away empty-handed. The MLA, who returned home from Uttarkashi in the morning, said the thieves had entered into his house from an under-construction portion of the house. They threatened his wife with a knife and asked her for money and jewellery. She told them that the family did not keep cash or jewellery in the house. The thieves searched for the locker and tried to open it but sensing someone approaching the house, they ran away. Surya Bhushan Negi, SHO, Sahaspur Police Station, said the MLA did not lodge any complaint of theft.
