In Mangalore this type of people you can find easily. Honey trapping is easy way to make money. This time bank Manager was lucky because he informed police . They can't encashment of cheque easily as manager can block his transaction. Young people don't want to work and spoiling life for nothing. In future they has run court several years for nothing, Need to spend money for Lawyer and Big Shame to family members.Parents should guide their children in a good way. Need to monitor their activities and friends circle. Sahavasa dosha Maga ketta

Mangaluru, Apr 13: Struck by the boredom of lockdown imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus, a 17-year old was caught on Sunday trying to sneak his friend out of his apartment complex by stuffing him inside a suitcase, police said.

"A minor, aged 17-years-old, a resident of Orchid Apartment, Balmatta invited his friend, a resident of Motisham Apartment, Pandeshwar to stay with him on April 11, Saturday," said PS Harsha, the Commissioner of Police, Mangaluru.

The friend wanted to return back to his apartment in Pandeshwar the next day but due to strict security put in place, he got inside a large trolley suitcase. Security guards at the apartment, however, got suspicious when they noticed the wobbling of the suitcase that was being wheeled to the gate.

Based on the suspicions, security personnel alerted the residents of the building and opened the suitcase from which they were shocked to find the boy's friend stepping out. Police were later called in.

A case has been registered against the two minors at the East Police station, police said adding that the duo will be produced before the Juvenile Justice Board.
