Following the complaint, police officials from the Secretariat police station visited the residence and inspected the premises.
Secretariat range DSP Dr. Anu said the complaint was being investigated. “A complaint regarding the theft has been received. The police are investigating the matter seriously. Further action will be taken after considering all the facts. The situation will become clear only after the investigation is complete,” she said.
Investigators are examining available evidence and reviewing different aspects of the case.
The latest incident comes after another theft case linked to Tej Pratap Yadav’s official residence was reported in 2022.
At that time, Tej Pratap Yadav had accused an individual named Chandan, who was associated with the upkeep of the house.
The new complaint has once again brought focus on security arrangements at official residences and access given to people working at or visiting such premises.
Police are expected to verify the allegations, examine evidence and decide further action as the investigation moves ahead.
