A locked house belonging to Amar Nath Lamba, father of Alka Lamba, president of the All-India Mahila Congress, was burgled in Tagore Garden Extension under the Rajouri Garden police station area on Sunday morning. The miscreants took away Rs 1.75 lakh in cash, a gold chain, gold earrings and a diamond ring from the house.
