In a disheartening incident from the Palace Grounds area of Bengaluru, miscreants broke into a residence in broad daylight and made away with a sum of money that had been painstakingly saved for the college fees of the homeowner's daughters.

According to reports, the theft occurred on Friday afternoon when the house was left unattended for a few hours. The family, who had kept the money aside for their daughters’ higher education, was shocked to find their savings stolen upon returning home.
