Mangalore, April 1: Bajpe police have tracked down and nabbed the culprits of the Sunkadakatte burglary case wherein they tied up the lone woman in the house to escape with gold ornaments worth Rs. 10 lakhs.
Addressing media persons at a press meet on Sunday at the Mangalore Police Commissionerate, Seemanth Kumar Singh, City Police Commissioner, said that Bajpe police caught Chetan of Paduperaru village and his accomplices Krishna Bilai and Bachu Mandal of Bengal and recovered all the ornaments worth Rs 10 lakhs on Sunday.
The Commissioner said that fear troubled Saroja Salian more than the material loss. “Even the neighbours who we spoke to expressed fear and concern that such an incident had happened in broad daylight. It was very important for us to solve this case and we have done it”, he said.
Mr. Singh also informed that help was sought from Visakhapatnam police in the case. “We got leads from the Vishakapatnam police and they helped us nab these culprits”, he said. He refused to give more details about the culprits, stating that there is an 'interesting' background to the case revealing of which will not be appropriate now.
Ms Salian, owner of the house and the jewellery, thanked the police for their successful operation and declared that she would hand over Rs.27,000 to the Department as prize money.
On March 27, Chetan and his two aides had barged into the house from the rear door, tied Geeta, Ms. Salian's neice who was the only member of the family in the house present in the house at the time and decamped with the gold.
Ms. Geeta had then managed to free herself from the tied ropes after burglars had gone and informed the workers and people in the neighborhood who contacted Ms. Salian, who was at her workplace when the incident took place.
