Udupi, Mar 17: Udupi police have arrested a Kerala based thief involved in over 26 house burgling cases and recovered gold and silver jewellery worth Rs 11 lakh.

The arrested has been identified as Tangaraju alias Ramesh (55), a native of Tamilnadu and settled in Kanzangad, Kerala.

During a recent burglary in Brahmavar, the forensic squad had been successful in identifying his finger prints, which matched with the one identified during a burglary in Bhatkal. Based on the finger print report Udupi DySP Jayanth Shetty and team has been successful in nabbing the culprit. During the interrogation Tangaraju confessed to have involved in over 26 cases – all in Karnataka, in the last eight years.

Udupi Superintendent of Police -in-charge- Venkteshappa told press persons that his modus operandi was very unique, as he used to identify his target for burglary in the evenings and end up on a house, gates and doors of which were locked for two days.

Newspapers of two - three days were still lying on the gate. After breaking open the doors and bringing out the jewels, he used to stay in a nearby no mans land, to avoid from the police on the night beat. He used to sell the stolen property to the local jewelers in the pretext that his son was serious in his native place and required money immediately for his treatment. He used to leave the city same night and come back on the next Friday to get ready for the next target.

Since four years Thangaraju was living in a lodge in Udupi, saying that he was a labour contractor of Suzlon Wind Power Equipment manufacturing company.

Bengaluru, Jan 30: The BJP government of Karnataka has given green signal to the proposal of hiking milk prices by Rs 2 per litre.

The new prices will come into effect from February 1. Seeking revision of prices, the Karnataka Milk Federation (KMF) had submitted a proposal last week to the state government. Alongside the revision of milk prices, the state government has also hiked the prices of curd by Rs 2 per liter.

The sudden hike in the prices of milk, curd is likely to have a cascading effect on the milk related beverages such as coffee, tea, and milkshakes with hoteliers and eateries mulling to increase the prices of coffee and tea following the hike in prices.

Sources in the state government revealed to DH that out of Rs 2, farmers will be getting a lion’s share as their accounts will be credited with Rs 1. Another 40 paise will be given to the farmers towards the insurances of their livestock.

Another 40 paise will go to the milk salesmen in the form of commission. The remaining 20 paise will be distributed among the workforce at the milk cooperative unions as an additional incentive.
