Boxer Mary Kom's Faridabad home robbed; CCTV shows thieves taking away TV, other valuables
Faridabad: The Faridabad home of Indian boxing icon Mary Kom was burgled earlier this week while she was away attending a marathon event in Sohra, Meghalaya.
The incident occurred at her two-storey bungalow, Ibeneser Inn, in Sector 46 located in Faridabad, which had reportedly been locked for several days. It came to light after neighbours noticed the break-in and alerted her.
CCTV footage from the night of the theft shows unidentified individuals entering the premises and walking away with various valuables, including a television set, as reported by India Today on Sunday. The footage is currently being reviewed by authorities.
Speaking to event organisers, Kom expressed her distress: “I am scared, nervous and worried as I was supposed to return to Delhi today. The theft happened earlier this week.”
The six-time world champion, originally from Manipur and one of India’s most celebrated athletes, said that the full extent of the loss would only be known after she returns and assesses the damage.
The police have registered a case and launched an investigation. Six special teams have been formed to identify and apprehend those responsible.
