Mohali: Theft at sealed Kharar hospital, 3 held

A closed private hospital located in Sunny Enclave, Kharar, previously shut down in connection with an alleged illegal kidney transplant case, was targeted by thieves for the second time in recent months. According to reports, a relative of the hospital owner visited the sealed premises and discovered suspicious movement inside the building. Upon checking, she found three men allegedly cutting copper wiring and gathering the material into a plastic sack.

The three suspects attempted to flee the scene after being noticed. However, the complainant raised an alarm, which alerted nearby residents and passers-by who managed to apprehend the trio. The individuals, along with the recovered wires and cutting tools, were handed over to the police at the Sunny Enclave police post.

Investigators registered a first information report against the three accused under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita concerning theft, stolen property, and common intention. This incident follows an earlier theft reported at the same location in September, raising concerns regarding the security of the sealed medical facility.
