Mangalore, Oct 16: Both of them are hard-working. Moreover, they are young guys. But the huge debt they had finally led them to commit robbery. Now they are behind the bars.
The Barke station police, led by circle inspector Vinay Gaonkar, sub-inspectors Joy Antony and Yogish Kumar Naik, have arrested Nitin Kumar, a resident of Akash Bhavan-Kapikad and Mithun Shetty, a resident of Kapigudde, Akash Bhavan, in connection of a robbery committed at Alake Kambla Cross in Vadiraj Nagar, informed deputy superintendent of Police (DySP) Dharmaiah, to the mediapersons on Tuesday October 16.
Nitin Kumar is a carpenter by profession while Mithun Shetty has been engaged in laying tiles. Mithun has a charming personality of Mungaru Male Kannada movie actor, Digant. However, his criminal mind has now landed him in the police station. At the same time, police sources said that this was the very first offence committed by them. It was because of the amateurish way it was done that the police could catch them them so easily.
On Tuesday October 9, they robbed the house of Gulabi (80) at Vadirajnagar. Nitin Kumar was once engaged in carpentry work at her house for 15 days in the past. Hence, he knew the house inside out. Secondly, Ida Mascarenhas (39), the neighbour of Nitin Kumar was working there as a housemaid. These culprits took Ida's help too. She was arrested on Wednesday October 10. Now, she is in judicial custody. Based on the information provided by her, the police have arrested Nitin and Mithun.
The police have recovered 2 Mangalsutras, a ring and three gold bangles and seized 2 motorbikes and mobile phone which was used in the act. Police head constable Mohandas, constables Santosh Kumar Padil, Santosh Kumar Sasihitlu, Satish M R and Damodar were involved in bringing this case to light, DySP informed.
