A Bengaluru-based IT professional attending her brother-in-law’s wedding reception in Zirakpur lost around ₹ 35,000 cash, shagun envelopes and gift cards after a man smashed the rear window of her car at a resort, according to her complaint.
She also questioned the absence of gate duty records and sought an investigation into the resort manager’s handling of her handbag and the security arrangements.
Shree told police that security guards were not present at the parking area or the main entrance at the time.
When she returned, the bag was missing. Ramya Shree, a Bengaluru resident and native of Chennai, had come to Azalia Resort in Master Farms, Zirakpur, with her family for the reception on September 21. Around 10.30pm, Shree left her handbag at a table while attending to her four-year-old son.
She raised the alarm, following which resort manager PS Bedi told her that he had removed the unattended handbag and kept it in the security room.
A case under Sections 303(2) (theft) and 324 (mischief) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) has been registered against the unidentified man.
Investigating officer assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Harwinder Singh said police had seized the CCTV recordings and were questioning the resort manager and security personnel.
