Social activist Kailash Satyarthi’s Nobel Peace Prize certificate and other valuables were stolen from his New Delhi residence on Monday night.
An official of the Bachpan Bachao Andolan, a non-profit organisation which Mr. Satyarthi runs for child rights, confirmed to The Hindu that the theft took place at his apartment in the Alaknanda neighbourhood of the national capital.
Mr. Satyarthi’s son discovered the theft when he went to the apartment on Tuesday morning.
“It was a forced entry. We have not identified the intruder yet. Along with the original Nobel Peace Prize certificate, some jewellery and electronic goods have also been stolen. An FIR has been lodged at the Kalkaji police station,” the official said.
Mr. Satyarthi attended the Nobel Peace summit in Colombia from February 2-5 and is still out of the country.
