“The government has realised the fact that police personnel are using traditional weapons that are not suitable to fight in a terror-like situation.?Hence, we have decided to procure modern weapons from abroad. The Cabinet recently approved a Rs six-crore project in this regard,” he told a press conference.

The Home Minister said the government had decided to go out of the way and recruit professionals for technical wings such as cyber crime cell and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to speed up the investigation of various cases. Terrorists are increasingly using various technological means to execute their attacks.?Hence, the government is contemplating to appoint experts in cyber cell and FSL, he said.

Referring to the upcoming Republic Day celebrations, he said the government had ensured massive security arrangements across the State especially in Bengaluru and requested the public to contact the Commissioners of Police, DG&IGP and SPs if they come across any suspicious objects or movements of people.

He said the police followed required legal procedure in arresting four suspected ultras recently and added the government would not deny any assistance to the suspects’ family members. To a question he said the police were yet to achieve a breakthrough in the Church Street blast case.

DG&IGP?L?R?Pachuau and Additional Chief Secretary (Home) S?K?Pattanayak were present on the occasion.

Mangaluru, Feb 27: An utterly unprofessional thief, who fell asleep after breaking into a house, was caught by the house owner and handed over to the police in the coastal district of Dakshina Kannada.

The hilarious incident took place on Wednesday in the one-storey, tiled-roof house owned by Sudarshan at Ullas Junction under the limits of Uppinangady police station.

The thief, who gained entry into the house by removing the roof-tiles, has been identified as Anil Sahani, a native of Bihar’s Majipur district. He was snoring on the sofa with a set of keys clutched in his hand when the house owner woke up in the morning.

The house owner, who was sure that the thief was drunk, woke him up by hitting him with a stick and then handed him over to the police.

According to police, the thief was tired after removing the tiles on Tuesday night and hence he decided to take a nap soon after entering the house.

He grabbed a bunch of keys kept near the TV stand and then lied down on the sofa. He woke up only when the house owner hit him with a stick the next morning.
