Mumbai, Nov 14:  In a heist that could easily be mistaken for a movie plot, a group of robbers dug a 25-feet long tunnel to the lockers of a bank in Mumbai, absconding with valuables worth Rs.40 Lakh.

The robbery took place at a branch of Bank of Baroda in the Juninagar area near Navi Mumbai at some time between Saturday and Sunday, a police officer said. A case has been registered and the police said they are probing the matter, which may have been planned over 5 months ago.

The bank staff discovered the robbery when they went to work on Monday morning and walked in to the locker room to find several vaults open.

The accused robbers, who are yet to be caught, had allegedly rented a shop next to the bank in May. Since then, they reportedly dug the tunnel which stretched to 25-feet, to reach the locker room of the Bank of Baroda branch. The accused allegedly opened 30 of the 225 lockers there, and walked away with valuables worth about Rs. 40 lakh.

The police were notified by the bank staff on Monday, when they went to work after the weekend.

"We are examining the CCTV footages. Even though the exact valuation of the looted items is yet to be ascertained, it appears that valuables worth Rs. 40 lakh have been stolen," the officer said.

"A case under relevant sections of the IPC has been registered at the Sanpada police station," Navi Mumbai Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale said, adding that a probe is on.

Tikamgarh, Jul 25: Promise of providing housing to the poor has been made by both Centre as well as State governments but a Dalit family in Tikamgarh district of Madhya Pradesh is forced to live in a toilet for the last several years.

However, the administration denied that the family is living in the toilet.

Maganlal Ahirwar, his wife and four children live in Keshavgarh Gram Panchayat of Mohangarh area of Tikamgarh district. All of them have been living in the toilet for four years. Ahirwar's wife Phula Devi said she told the authorities several times that her family didn't get house under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, but no one listened. The couple even got their daughter married in the same toilet.

They even got an electricity connection and gas connection under the Ujjwala scheme.

Mohangarh tehsildar Dr. Abhijeet Singh told media persons, "I got to know about the case and have asked for the report. Maganlal Ahirwar came to the office two-three days ago and denied that he was living in the toilet with his family. He has an ancestral house in the village."

He might have lived in a toilet earlier but currently he is not living there, Dr. Singh added.
