Until the theft, the park only had a day watchman and no CCTVs
A bust of yesteryear matinee idol Dr. Rajkumar at Lumbini Gardens on Hebbal Ring Road has mysteriously disappeared. The Amruthahalli police, who registered a case of theft on Tuesday, said the lone watchman employed by the Forest Department reported its dispearrance to the Deputy Range Forest Officer, M.S. Yogesh , in charge of the area.
“He recalled seeing it last on January 18. We have registered a case of theft,” said a police officer, adding that the metal name plate for the bust was also stolen.
The park, which is now under the department, has no proper security. “There is only one watchman deployed during the day. He has to maintain the park and see to its security. His shift ends at 8 p.m. and there are no nightwatchmen,” a police officer said.
