  "account": "In a late Wednesday incident, a Tasmac petrol pump situated in Melpatti village, near Vellore, was burgled. The culprits fled with roughly 1.5 lakh rupees worth of liquor bottles. Upon entering the shop around noon, the outlet's supervisor, V. Subash, 38, and his colleagues discovered the main entrance lock had been tampered with. They also noticed several racks of liquor bottles had been stolen. Alarmingly, the hard disks of the CCTV cameras installed inside the outlet were missing, along with the cameras themselves, which were damaged. The staff promptly reported the incident to the Pernambut police, who collected CCTV footage from the vicinity of the shop. Authorities registered a case, and a thorough investigation is currently underway.",
