The stolen items are reported to belong to Reyaz Ahmad Wani, the son of Late Ghulam Nabi Wani of Wani Mohalla Ajas.
“We were attending our cousin’s marriage at Srinagar. On Friday, there was no one at home. My sister yesterday late evening came back and without going into the kitchen, as the kitchen keys were not with her, she noticed some suspicious things. The window of my brother’s room was open and visible from outside. My sister informed my brother, and the family rushed back, only to find the golden ornaments and even some clothes being robbed”, Reyaz told GNS, adding, “Everything was scattered around the room as the wardrobes were broken into.”
