He had kept Rs 10 lakh in cash in his office drawer, but when he reached the school on Thursday afternoon and opened the drawer in his office, the cash was missing.
Considering the manner of theft it appears that the thief knew that the window of the office was open and Rs 10 lakh in cash had been kept in the drawer. No CCTV camera of any kind has been installed in Jain’s office which has created a gap.

The lock of the drawer in which the money is said to have been kept was neither broken nor the glass or lock of the window was broken. The thief is suspected to have entered the room by the window.
