Nagpur: An unidentified thief allegedly stole an iPhone 17 and a laptop worth a total of ₹60,000 from the hostel room of a 22-year-old MBA student in the Khamla area of Nagpur.

According to the police, the complainant, identified as Rounit Yogender Hirani (22), is pursuing his second year of MBA and resides alone in a boys' hostel near Sindhi Hindi School, Khamla, under the jurisdiction of Rana Pratap Nagar Police Station.

The incident took place between 1.30 am and 9 am on November 6. The student had reportedly been studying until late at night and subsequently fell asleep without locking the door of his room.

Taking advantage of the open door, an unidentified person allegedly entered the room and stole electronic gadgets worth ₹60,000 before fleeing.

The stolen property includes an HP Victus laptop worth approximately ₹20,000 and a blue-coloured iPhone 17 worth ₹35,000, fitted with a Jio SIM card. An old Lenovo laptop was also mentioned in the property details, though its valuation and inclusion in the total loss require verification.

Rana Pratap Nagar Police registered an offence under Section 305(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) against an unidentified accused. Further investigation is underway.
