Chikkamagaluru: Thieves decamped with the gold jewellery gifted to the bride by the groom’s family during a wedding ceremony at The Royal Shalimar Hall in Handi village, under Aldur Police Station limits, on Wednesday.

The wedding, held between a bride from Bankenahalli village in Mudigere taluk and a groom from Hyaragudde village, was disrupted when thieves made away with jewellery valued at approximately Rs 3 lakh. The stolen items included a necklace and earrings, which had been secured in the bride’s room.

Thieves Enter Through Window, Escape with Gold

The bride’s jewellery had been safely stored in her room, which was locked while the guests were occupied with the wedding rituals. During this time, the thieves reportedly entered through a sliding window, locked the room from inside, and took the jewellery before escaping through the same window.

The theft came to light when family members tried to access the room, only to find it locked from inside. This led to considerable confusion and distress among the wedding guests. Upon inspection, the hall’s owner and management confirmed that the thieves likely gained access by climbing a nearby under-construction building.

Police Investigation Underway

Aldur police arrived at the scene with a dog squad and fingerprint experts to investigate. The hall reportedly has 16 CCTV cameras, which could assist in identifying the culprits. Initial footage has helped police identify two possible suspects. Though the family has not yet formally filed a complaint, they are expected to lodge a report with Aldur Police Station on Thursday, following which police plan to proceed with a detailed investigation.

Compensation Assurance

Relatives of the bride expressed anger over the lack of security, as the window in the room did not have grills. The hall management has offered an apology and assured the family that if the jewellery is not recovered, they will bear the responsibility and compensate for the loss due to their oversight.
