High drama prevailed when a thief jumped from the first floor of a house to save himself from being caught in Karan colony in Barwala. However, in the dramatic 30-foot fall, the youth suffered injuries on both his heels and landed in the police net.

The accused, identified as Vishal, 23, was committing theft on the first floor of a house when he heard footsteps near stairs and apprehended that the owner had come. To escape, he jumped from the floor.

Earlier, the police had got a tip-off that the accused, who was wanted in three thefts, including that in the house of a Haryana cop, was in Barwala. Coincidentally, the owner and a team of cops reached the house when Vishal was committing the crime.

After stealing cash and valuables from there, he struck at the house on the first floor,” said Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Jagtar Singh.
