In a stunning display of how safe Andhra Pradesh is permitted to feel under the "protection" of its law and order system, a robbery took place on Saturday at the Secretariat, the seat of power in the state.
Principal Secretary (Government of Andhra Pradesh, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Department) S P Singh fell prey to the evidently lax security arrangements at the Secretariat, when thieves broke into his chambers and stole a laptop.
S P Singh's chambers are located in the J Block of the Secretariat.
Some cheque books were also found missing from his office. The police have reportedly rounded up some suspects for questioning.
The Andhra Pradesh Secretariat is the office of the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and his ministers, located near Hussain Sagar Lake.
