Erode district police have launched an investigation after ₹1 lakh in cash, earmarked for a vegetable shop expansion, was stolen in an overnight break-in near Malayampalayam.
The shop, located at Nadupalayam, belongs to 27-year-old Daniel Abraham of Kilambadi village, who has operated the business for the past seven years. According to police records, Abraham had recently secured a ₹3 lakh loan through a daily-instalment scheme to expand his operations. After repaying ₹2 lakh at the Erode vegetable market, he kept the remaining ₹1 lakh in a cash box inside the locked shop.
On the night of May 28, Abraham closed the shop and returned home. The next morning, Anandhan, a worker arriving to unload vegetable sacks, discovered the shop’s shutter lock had been forcibly broken. He immediately informed Abraham, who rushed to the scene and found the cash box empty. A formal complaint was lodged with the Malayampalayam police, who registered a case under relevant sections and initiated a probe.
