BENGALURU, 18 AUG

Movers and packers company ‘Halef International Pvt Ltd’ has been accused of stealing items valued at more Rs 10 lakh during a house shifting in State on 14 August.

The incident came to light when Bengaluru resident Ankit Mayank shared his ordeal on X. Mayank said a bag valued at Rs 8 lakh, Rs 2 lakh in cash, a pair of gold earrings, two gold bangles and other valuable items were missing apart from damage of the assets. The social media post includes a video showing the chaotic state of their new home after the move. Trollies, bags and suitcases were scattered around in disarray, with important documents strewn across the floor.

Vidyaranyapura police said seven members of the company have been booked for the theft.

The company wrote on X: “@mr_mayank didn't inform while booking the services with us that he is availing the service for the transportation of cash, jewellery, antique and ancient valuable items as we don't encourage or entertain such goods transportation… This couple is clearly attempting to extort the company by manipulating their social media following and making baseless claims.” —Salar News
