Mary Kom's Faridabad Home Burglarised During Marathon Trip CCTV Shows Thieves Taking Away TV, Other Valuables

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Thieves broke into the Faridabad home of six-time world boxing champion Mary Kom while she was in Meghalaya for a marathon event at Sohra, officials said on Saturday. Kom later informed the organisers that she had been alerted about the burglary at her residence in the national capital while attending the event in the Northeast.

She told marathon organisers,"I am scared, nervous and worried as I was supposed to return to Delhi today. The theft happened earlier this week." However, the extent of the loss would be clear only after she returns home.

Speaking with ANI on the theft reported at her residence in Faridabad, Kom said, "I am not at home. I will know exactly when I reach home. CCTV footage shows them (thieves) taking away the TV and other things. I was told by my neighbours that this happened on September 24. This happened at my Faridabad home... I have informed the police."
