On Sunday night, a guy broke into ‘Kanakadurga Wines’ in Medak by removing roof tiles and disconnecting CCTV cameras.
On Sunday night, a man in Telangana snuck into a liquor store and stole booze in preparation for the New Year 2025 celebrations. During the theft, he stole cash and liquor bottles but delayed his escape due to the temptation of drinking. This resulted in a binge session that left him inebriated and comatose for about 24 hours.
According to reports, he remained unconscious through Monday night. An image of the thief sprawled on the store floor, surrounded by scattered cash and bottles of alcohol, quickly gained widespread attention online.
How did he get caught?
The thief, ecstatic about his large haul just before New Year’s Day, decided to celebrate with a few drinks. He eventually passed out, and the shop workers discovered him the next morning.
Cash and liquor bottles lay scattered around him, and he looked to have a small facial injury, probably from the break-in.
On Monday morning, Narsing, the manager of Kanakadurga Wines in Medak district, was one of the individuals who came across the intoxicated thief. “We closed the shop at 10 p.m. on Sunday, and when we opened at 10 a.m. The following day, we discovered him unconscious. He had gained access by removing roof tiles and stealing money from the cash box. Afterward, he was transported to a hospital.Police are still looking into whether he had any accomplices, Narsing said.
The thief, who is still severely intoxicated, has not yet been identified. Police have filed a complaint, but they are waiting for him to regain consciousness before gathering additional information.
In a comparable incident from October last year, the Delhi Police reported the arrest of a 27-year-old man allegedly involved in a break-in at a wine shop located in Krishna Nagar, East Delhi.. The suspect drank liquor from the business before passing out inside.
Shahdara’s Deputy Commissioner of Police, Rohit Meena, identified the accused as Chaman Kumar, a resident of Nand Nagri in northeast Delhi. According to the district prosecutor, the case has been filed under IPC Sections 487 for trespassing, 380 for theft, and 34 for actions carried out with shared intent by more than one person.
