Earlier, the thieves went to the house of former legislature Rambhau Gavande (at Chitegaon). In the meantime, a house member Nilesh Gavande woke up from sleep. As a result, the gang fled away from the spot and then moved towards the area near Vijaya School.
Two months ago, a similar theft case had taken place in the village. The theft which took last night was the second incident. The residents feared that their lives are in danger due to the terror of dacoits in the periphery.
