New Delhi: Child Activist Kailash Satyarthi’s Nobel Prize replica along with other valuable items including jewellery went missing from his South Delhi house.
Thieves broke into Satyarthi’s – who is in Panama – apartment in Alaknanda and decamped with the valuable items.
The matter was first reported to the police by a dry cleaner after he found the door open with no one responded to his repeated calls.
Satyarthi, a child rights-education activist and the founder of the Bachpan Bachao Andolan, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, which he shared with Pakistan’s Malala Yousafzai.
A complaint has been lodged and a massive investigation is underway.
