    I have no comments except the elderly couple are alive and safe. The robbery must have taken under whatever circumstances but these thieves looted whatever they could get hold of except the lives of the couple.

    Robbers must be their relatives or known to them. Exactly they dug the whole in the door where latch is located inside the door. And might be even know what time couples wake up every day. Hope soon they will be caught.

    Thefts are increasing day by day in Udupi taluk. This incident on the elderly couple is really a pity. Respected SP Annamalai sir we look upon you to increase vigilance in Malpe, Udupi and Kadekar area and bring these culprits to book immediately and rigorous punishments to be imparted to them.
