Mangalore, Apr 6: To some extent the police appear to have been baffled by a complaint of theft of jewellery filed by a housewife against her one-time housemaid. The reason is that the complaint has been filed seven months after the theft is said to have taken place.
Informed sources at the Bunder police station told this correspondent that Remedia Fernandes, a resident of Embassy Court apartments in Falnir, has filed a complaint with them on Wednesday, March 5, saying that her erstwhile housemaid Saraswati has been missing with her jewellery of five gold sovereign value since September 2005.
It is not known if the police have ascertained from her why the complaint was held over for five months.
