Burglars looted valuables worth nearly Rs0.9 million from a house in Gulshan-e-Hadeed, Phase II, in Karachi and left behind bizarre drawings that shocked the family.

 

According to media reports citing police, the thieves stole two bridal dresses worth Rs300,000, 25 branded embroidered suits, Rs300,000 in cash, three packed mobile phones worth Rs50,000, two smartwatches, electronic items worth Rs50,000, artificial jewellery worth Rs150,000, and a large suitcase priced at Rs35,000. Police said the total loss is still being assessed.

 

What disturbed the family most were the bizarre signs left on the walls. The burglars reportedly used lipstick to draw cartoons and circles, marked children’s photographs with red symbols, decorated a mirror with strange patterns, and even wrote a message in English Bollywood style, according to investigators.

 

The complaint filed by Shehryar Ali, son of Sajjad Hussain, stated that the suspects broke into the third floor of his house when no one was home. The family returned around 11 pm and found the entire floor ransacked.

 

Steel Town police have registered a case and started an investigation to trace the culprits.
