A senior citizen lost 18 tolas of gold jewellery and Rs 50,000 in cash when his house in Dahisar East was burgled on Monday.

Ranganath Khavale (66), a resident of Varad Vinayak building in the area, stepped out around noon to visit a bank and deposit a cheque he had received from a tenant. His wife left home at the same time to visit their daughter in the neighbourhood.
