By evening, Prabhakar Shenoy and family returned and inspected the house. Gold ornaments valued at Rs 4-lakh-plus, which included diamond-studded earrings, a gold mangalsutra and others, have been taken away.
Silver items were found strewn all over the place. Similarly, some foreign currency in the wardrobe has been left untouched.
