Mangalore, Oct 12: Two people were robbed of Rs 5.75 lac in the city on Saturday, October 11, in two separate incidents. In the first instance, around 12.30 pm, Jokim Moras, manager of a jewellery showroom, was robbed of Rs 5.5 lac in cash while he was storing the money in his two-wheeler.


According to police, two men distracted him by indicating that his shirt was emanating a foul smell. Moras returned to the showroom to remedy the situation and on his return to his two-wheeler, he found that the money was missing. Moras filed a complaint with Bunder police. 

In another incident, two men robbed one Keerthan Bhat of Rs 25,000 in cash around 11.30 am. Police said that Bhat’s father had handed him Rs 25,000 near the Syndicate Bank on Light House Hill Road, when two men approached the latter and drew his attention to a couple of Rs 10 notes lying on the floor. As Bhat bent down to pick the notes, the thieves snatched the purse containing the cash. Bhat filed a complaint at Bunder police station.

    A financier had robbed our family of 75 lakhs.An FIR was lodged at the Crime HQ.Nothing happened so we hired private detectives and caught the culprits ( one the financial expert and the other an assnt manager of a nationalised bank) together with 3 family members of the culprits who were in the scam.

    They were all granted bail by the magistrates'court??? 4 years later the Crime Branch filed a case but can u imagine it the two main culprits have dissappeared and declared absconders so now the case is going ahead with the other three. The police surprisingly say they cannot trace scamsters who have run away with 75 lakhs. This is our family story- a believe it or not one, with the police not held accountable.

    Very sad to hear robbery in a city like Mangalore. This reminded me of another robbery a couple of years back. A fixed machinery worth Rupees 10,000 was robbed and sold to gujiri (second hand goods at bunder). The loser filed FIR with Police. They assured him that they will have investigation and find out. The loser inquired several times but in vain. Later somebody suggested to find in the gujiri. Accordingly they searched and to their surprise the machinery was found. T

    hey informed to police and got back machinery. But police didn’t catch any one or interrogate who has done burglary. Why they have not found who has done this act because police are getting goose (corruption). Several robbery cases are occurring with the knowledge of Police. How much we can expect if a fence consumes the fence???
