A man stole over Rs 80,000 in cash from a diagnostic centre in Gurgaon's Sector 52 late on April 21, after entering the premises with his face covered. The incident took place around 11:30pm at Orbit Imaging and Pathlab. In her complaint, centre manager Aditi Sharma said the accused entered through the back gate and reached the reception area. CCTV footage showed him wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and a red cap, with his face covered.
Police said the unidentified man appeared to be aware of the location of the cash drawer keys, from where Rs 80,695 was taken. At the time, the centre was unattended. The keys to the cash drawer were left at their usual place. An employee staying at the facility, Priyanshu Sharma, had stepped out to buy dinner with another employee, while the receptionist had left earlier around 10pm.
Based on a complaint filed on April 22, a case was registered under the BNS section for theft at Sector 53 police station. Police said the possibility of the involvement of insiders is also being examined.

In a separate incident, a man reported the loss of a bag containing gold items, a safe key and documents during a bus journey. Vedraj, a resident of Fazalwas village in Pachgaon, told police that the incident occurred on April 18 while he was travelling on a crowded bus. He said he had kept his bag inside the vehicle, but as the vehicle became crowded, the bag went missing. He realised the loss just before getting off at his stop and was unable to trace it despite checking with other passengers.
Following his complaint on April 22, Bilaspur police registered a case under the BNS section for theft at Bilaspur police station. Police said efforts to trace the bus details have not yielded results so far. Attempts to contact the complainant later were unsuccessful as his phone was switched off.
