Coimbatore District (Rural) Police grope in the dark
Coimbatore District (Rural) Police are groping in the dark as Thudiyalur witnessed at least seven reported cases of housebreaks in two days, including the one at the villa of a businessman from where burglars decamped with jewellery worth ₹ 1.30 crore.
Sources said that the police were yet to make a breakthrough in tracing the burglars.
Diamond jewellery worth ₹1,27,50,000 and gold jewellery valued ₹ 2,50,000 were reportedly stolen from the villa of B. Srinivasan, a dairy products distributor, in a semi-gated community at Gounder Mills in the early hours of Saturday. The burglars entered the residence by breaking open the backdoor on the ground floor while the family members slept on the first floor.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
