Thieves Hit Two Shops in One Night at Bareka’s Gumti Market

Thieves struck two shops in a single night at Bareka’s Gumti Market under Manduadih police station, according to the station’s account. At shop number 443, the clothes shop of Jigat Pandey, intruders allegedly removed a tin shed to enter and stole lower garments and other clothes worth about Rs 23,000. Ajay Mishra’s gift counter in the same market was also targeted the same night. SHO Digambar Upadhyay said CCTV is being examined and identification is underway. No accused has been named in this file. Alleged losses remain subject to investigation.

The entry method at shop 443 is specific: a tin shed taken off to open a path inside. That detail matters more than generic “broke in” language. Lower garments and other clothes make up the stated haul of about Rs 23,000 at Pandey’s shop. For Mishra’s gift counter, police have confirmed the targeting; this desk does not invent a rupee figure that is not locked. Two premises, one night, one market — that is the geometry.

Gumti Market at Bareka is a covered trading strip where rolling shutters and tin roofing are part of the built fabric. Overnight burglary along that corridor is a familiar risk pattern when shutters are down and watch presence is thin. Manduadih’s response stamp, as stated by the SHO, is CCTV tracing rather than an immediate named arrest. That distinguishes this file from the station’s separate paan-shop arrest on the Nathupur–Bareka road.

Readers should not collapse the two Manduadih theft stories. The paan-shop case has a named accused, a recovery list and a jail production. The Gumti Market case has two shop targets, a tin-shed entry at 443, a Rs 23,000 clothes allegation at Pandey’s, a second hit at Mishra’s gift counter, and an active CCTV identification effort. Same station, different premises, different stage of the investigation.

Upadhyay’s line — cameras under review, identification underway — is the operational ceiling for now. This desk will not invent suspect descriptions, a getaway vehicle or a third shop. If later briefs name an accused or lock a gift-counter loss amount, those will be fresh stamps. Until then, the locked facts stop where the SHO’s account stops.

Market traders watching this file will care about shutter discipline, tin-shed vulnerability and whether CCTV angles actually cover the corridor edges where a shed can be lifted. Those are practical questions the investigation may answer; they are not colour this copy invents. Naming shop 443 and both traders keeps the victims’ premises public without padding the loss ledger.

Crime copy without an arrest is still worth printing when two shops in one market are hit the same night. It records the complaint geography, the entry method, the one locked rupee figure, and the station’s CCTV track. It does not pretend a breakthrough that has not been claimed.

Until Manduadih names a suspect or revises the loss list, Bareka’s Gumti Market stamp is a same-night double burglary — tin-shed entry and about Rs 23,000 in clothes at Jigat Pandey’s shop 443, plus a hit on Ajay Mishra’s gift counter — with identification still in progress under SHO Digambar Upadhyay.
