The wheat worth ₹6 lakh, which was kept in an open plinth, was looted around 3am, after holding five watchmen captive. I immediately reached the spot and informed the police about the incident,” said complainant Rajbir Singh Mann, a Punsup inspector. “Five watchmen—Satnam Singh, Bhagwan Singh, Nanak Singh, Gurbachant Singh and Jasbir Singh — were on duty at the godown. We have also installed closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in and outside the godown, but the suspects also took along the digital video recorder (DVR) of the cameras,” the Punsup inspector said.
