Guwahati: In India food is something which is loved by everyone. One connects with the other over food. But, this time food led cops to connect with a thief. For this thief, cooking ‘Khichdi’ was proven to be injurious. At Assam, a thief in the middle of burglary, paused and started to cook khichdi for himself, and was soon arrested for his folly. Assam Police took to Twitter on Tuesday to share details of the incident, revealing that the thief was arrested by police in Guwahati.
The thief was robbing valuable items and paused midway to have the snack. This has been proven the biggest mistake for him. The neighbors alerted cops and that led to his arrest.
According to The Hindu, the thief broke into a house in Guwahati’s Hengerabari area while the homeowners were away.
Assam Police took to Twitter to share the incident. Needless to say, netizens were thoroughly surprised and amused with the odd incident.
“The curious case of a cereal burglar! Despite its many health benefits, turns out, cooking Khichdi during a burglary attempt can be injurious to your well-being. The burglar has been arrested and @GuwahatiPol is serving him some hot meals,” the department wrote in a witty way.
The post left many, laughing hard, but some requested to serve good food to the thief.
Something similar happened in 2017 when a burglar broke into a restaurant in the US and stopped searching for money long enough to cook himself a meal. The man helped himself to five steak sandwiches, fries, and some soda before making his escape.
