5 Men break into Restaurant during lockdown, cook food and eat before leaving

The Police came to know about the incident through social media

(Web Desk) - When one is hungry, one can go to any lengths to ensure one has food, be it having to compromise ones own moral beliefs or dignity. This was shown in the truest sense when a group of 5 unemployed men on Junagadh, Gujarat broke into a restaurant to do just that during the lockdown.

They left the scene in the same state as it was when they came in. The men cooked rice and potato curry in the kitchen, ate and left without stealing anything, according to police

According to Jitesh Tank, owner of Gajanand Parotha House in Vaibhav Chowk, at least five people entered the kitchen from the terrace.

“The CCTV footage shows one men entering the kitchen, searching for something. Later he notices the CCTV and covers it,” he said.

The magnanimous eatery owner, however, decided not to file any complaint against the break-in as nothing was stolen from his place.

Tank said that on May 13 morning he got a call from the owner of an office near his eatery that the kitchen door of the eatery was open.

“On entering the kitchen, I found that there were five used plates lying around. Some kitchen utensils were also used to prepare food. They seem to have prepared some rice and potato curry,” he added.

After the unique break-in footage was uploaded on social media by the owner, police came to know about the incident.

Jadeja said from the evidences left there, it seems around five men entered the place, cooked some food and ate it before leaving the eatery.

Lockdown across the country has left many daily wagers jobless and at the mercy of government distributed ration. Daily wagers and migrant workers in different towns of Gujarat are seen standing for hours in scorching May heat to get a ration kit that would last them for just couple of days.
