The burglary took place at VIP Garden in Thammathukonam, where YouTuber Vinoth Kumar lives with his wife, Madhumitha.
PTC News Desk: A YouTuber from Kanyakumari, who often shows gold jewellery and large amounts of cash on social media, was robbed after burglars broke into his house near Nagercoil and stole 118 sovereigns, or around 944 grams, of gold along with cash.
The burglary took place at VIP Garden in Thammathukonam, where YouTuber Vinoth Kumar lives with his wife, Madhumitha. According to police, unidentified burglars broke open the rear door of the house during the night, entered the premises and escaped with the valuables.
The theft was discovered later, following which Rajakkamangalam Police reached the spot and started an investigation. Police are examining CCTV footage from the house and surrounding areas to identify the suspects and track their movements before and after the burglary.
Investigators are also trying to find out how the burglars entered the locality and whether surveillance cameras captured them.
Police are examining the couple’s social media posts as part of the investigation. Their videos reportedly showed large amounts of gold jewellery and cash, and investigators are checking whether these posts may have unintentionally revealed details about the valuables kept at their home.
The investigation is ongoing as police work to identify the burglars and determine exactly how the break-in was carried out.
Police said around 120 sovereigns of gold and diamond jewellery, along with Rs 50,000 in cash, were stolen from Madhumita’s family home in Nagercoil.
The family had gone out shopping on Thursday when burglars reportedly broke into their house at VIP Garden and escaped with cash and valuables worth around Rs 1 crore.
The theft was discovered after the family returned home and found the locker open and the valuables missing.
In an old social media reel, Madhumita had spoken about knowing how to keep her valuable belongings safe. However, burglars still managed to enter the house and steal the valuables.
Her earlier social media posts may now be useful to investigators. Police are examining whether the influencer’s online activity could have helped the burglars track the family’s movements.
Investigators are also looking at posts and reels in which Madhumita displayed gold jewellery and cash, including a video showing cash being showered on a child. Police are checking whether such content may have unintentionally revealed information about the family’s valuables or routine.
