Bengaluru, Jun 22: An unidentified man bludgeoned a 69-year-old man to death and injured a 12-year-old boy when they resisted his bid to barge into their houses in Yelahanka New Town, in Bengaluru on Wednesday. The deceased, Ananta Ramaiah, was a retired private company employee.rode

The thief had attempted to enter an independent house in the Vth sector before targeting Ananta's house, police said. Around 2.30am, the miscreant barged into a house after cutting through the window grills of a house.

The thief, who locked the bedroom from outside, was trying to open a cupboard in the hall when 12-year-old Mohammed Anees woke up.

He was sleeping in the drawing room and the thief had failed to notice him. In the nick of time, Anees rushed towards the bedroom and unlocked the door. When the couple raised an alarm, the thief attacked Anees with a blunt object, and fled through the back door.

Alerted by the family, police rushed to the spot. However, the thief was not in a mood to give up. He walked towards IV sector, which was 500 metres from the house of Anees.

He broke open the back door of a house and was about to enter the room when Ananta confronted him. Frustrated, he attacked Ananta with an iron rod and fled, police said.

Palghar, Mar 7: Police have arrested a man for allegedly cheating several shopkeepers in Maharashtra's Thane, Pune and Nashik by making phone calls in a woman's voice, police said on Friday.

The accused, Shashikant Ambekar (42), a resident of Palghar, was arrested in the last week of February, they said.

"He used to note down the phone numbers mentioned on different shops and call the owners in a woman's voice to order some things from them. He would tell them that he had a Rs 2000 currency note and needed change," an official said.

"He would ask the shopkeepers to send smaller denomination notes for exchange. He would wait at the entrance of buildings and when the delivery man arrived, he used to tell that he was there on behalf of the ''caller woman''.

"He would then take the currency notes from the delivery man saying he would get the Rs 2,000 note from the woman. However, he would disappear from the scene," the official said.

Police have seized Rs 1,85,000 from the accused and found that so far he has committed 22 similar crimes in different parts of the state.
