MH-MINISTER-BURGLARY

Burglary attempt at minister's office
    Pune, Aug 17 (PTI) Unidentified persons tried to break
into the office of Maharashtra minister Dilip Kamble here when
he was away in Delhi to attend the last rites of former Prime
Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, police today said.
    The burglary attempt came to light when his family
members found the lock on the outer door of the office damaged
this morning.
    Besides, the burglars also tried to break into three
other flats in the same building in Parmarnagar locality of
Wanowarie area, police said.
    "It seems the attempt was made in the wee hours. The
lock was broken, but nothing seems to have been stolen from
the office. We are investigating," a police officer said.
    Kamble, the minister of state for social justice, told
PTI over phone from Delhi that while he has a flat on the
third floor of the building, he has rented another flat on the
second floor to use as an office. "This second-floor flat was
targeted," he said.
    Police said there was a CCTV camera in the building,
but its footage is unclear because of darkness. PTI SPK
