Jamshedpur: A brazen daylight burglary at a government quarter in the Sidhgora police station area has raised fresh concerns over urban security after thieves made away with cash and jewellery worth several lakhs. The heist targeted the residence of Tata Steel employee Rakesh Kumar Jha, located near Amal Sangh.
