A mobile phone,a Sony camera and a 10 gram gold chain worth Rs 20,000 was stolen from one of the rooms at the womens hostel on the CYG premises at Balewadi on Monday. The incident took place between 8 and 8.30 pm when Sutapa Das and Sahebani Orah,members of the national womens rugby team had gone for dinner. Apparently,the thief,who seemed to be acquainted with the girls routine,cut the metal net outside the bathrooms and entered room number two where the two girls stay. The police are investigating further.

We went to the canteen at 8 pm. Normally,I take my mobile phone along,but yesterday,I put it for charging. When we returned,we saw the clothes scattered and drawers open. My mobile phone (Nokia 6303),purse with Rs 600 cash and a gold chain are stolen, said Orah. The camera that was stolen had snaps of her recent China trip.

Room number two is located on the rear side of Hostel A in the campus and the thief also broke metal nets of other windows of room number three and four. He did not enter our room as we were inside till about 8.45 pm, said Roshni Hormusjee,another team member.

The facility has 30 members of the girls rugby team who are here for a training for the Asian Championships in November. Two of the girls also tried calling the thief on the stolen mobile,which he surprisingly answered. He was answering our call till 9 am on Tuesday. He also told us that he was interested in money and that he would return other things. We informed the police and they are investigating, said Naazeesh Mirza,a team member.

We contacted the authorities of the facility and they immediately deployed four guards who were patrolling the area in the night. We have shifted the girls on the first floor, said Leena Bal,team manager.

Dhananjay Jagdale,PSI,Hinjewadi police station,said,We have visited the spot and are investigating it further. We will also be tracking the mobile number. Looking at the space from which the thief entered and the conversation he had with the girls,he looks like a thin teenager.
