Bengaluru, March 9 (IANS) Karnataka police have arrested three persons who formed a gang to commit burglary of houses once they are out on bail in Bengaluru and recovered valuables worth over Rs 55 lakh from them. With the arrest, the cops managed to solve 14 cases.
The police recovered 1.1 kg of gold, 1.9 kg of silver articles and a bike from the accused persons. The arrested persons are identified as Karate Seena a.k.a Srinivas, Kokkare Satish and Tejas, all residents of north Bengaluru. The police said that the three accused persons became friends during their stay in the Parappana Agrahara Central Prison and as soon as they came out, they started striking houses.
Accused Seena and Satish identified houses located near under construction buildings. The gang took shelter in those buildings till midnight and struck houses later.
Accused Seena was arrested by Hebbagodi police for thefts, while Satish was arrested by Yeshwanthpur police for burglary and another accused Tejas was nabbed on kidnapping charges.
Once they came out from prison, accused Tejas gave shelter to the other two. Tejas convinced his mother that they were his close friends and kept them with him for planning and executing burglaries. The accused got Tejas's mother to pledge the stolen gold jewels in her name. Tejas told his mother that his friends had landed in a crisis and needed money.
With the arrest of the accused, cops have solved cases registered in Nandini Layout, Vidyaranyapura, Bagalagunte, Kodihalli, Sanjaynagar, Peenya and Gangammanagudi police stations.
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Friday demanded transfer of state intelligence officials, including the top brass, who face charges of compromising the security of Punjab and indulging in electoral malpractices to provide "illegal, illegitimate and immoral" help to the ruling Congress.
Due to incessant rains and water logging of fields owing to overflow of nearby natural drains during September-October 2021 in Delhi, crops of farmers have been severely damaged, the Delhi government said in a release, adding that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had taken cognisance of the matter and assessed that a relief package for crop damage was necessary to be provided.
The SKM also reiterated that the name, banner or platform of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha will not be used by any political party or candidate in the run-up to the Assembly polls in Punjab, scheduled on February 20.
Appearing for the Punjab government, Senior Advocate P. Chidambaram argued that Majithia has gone into hiding after the rejection of his bail plea in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, and now he is appearing through counsel.
Interestingly, the move comes a week after neighbouring Madhya Pradesh permitted liquor sales at all its airports, select supermarkets in four major cities and also allowed issuing home bar licences to those earning Rs 1 crore or more annually.
The incident took place on Wednesday and the accused are said to be illicit liquor sellers in the area. It has been alleged that the woman was also gang-raped. A video of the incident showed the woman being attacked.
