Varanasi,  In a shockingly bizarre incident, a burglar died after he got stuck in a door while trying to break into a power loom centre with the intention of stealing.

The incident took place on Monday morning in Daniyalpur of Sarnath area of Varanasi.

The deceased has been identified as Javed, 30, who was actively involved in other theft cases.

According to police reports, the power loom centre that belonged to a man named Nizam had been closed for the past two days due to a shortage of work.

He got stuck between the two door beams. His head was strangely stuck inside the power loom door while the rest of his body was outside, leaving him dead.
