    Why these small thieves are shown without mask, where as noted criminals are always photographed with a mask hiding the identity ? I would congratulate the police force the day they catch top dacoits of Karnataka who loot the state resources in billions & roam free eventhough the court issue non-bailable warrants repeatedly !! Why can't the police arrest such law breakers and teach them the law ?? Is it because our CM is afraid of them ?

    I think it is premature to publish their photos. If one of them is proved to be innocent, can you imagine the damage that has been done to him and his family. It is only when it is conclusively proved in the court of law that they are the burglars their photos could have been published.

    Good job by the police. Congratulations to the police team. In this world in general always service is without thanks.
    Looking at the young boys photograph one should ask question is our society one side breed robbers. We being part of the society also have equal responsibility to eradicate this contaminated habit of robbery. But ... unfortunately majority of our leaders are official robbers with suit and this gang of robbers are police registered robbers.
    Have our leaders become the good model, then most of these type of shameful act will not arise. This act of robbers by the gang shows every robber has no boundary when it comes looting or wrong act, irrespective of their religious belief.
    We require our leaders to become better model.

    What a tremendous achivement of our police force. Ana a proud moment for the nine proud policemen to be phtographed in front of the deadly thives.

    Though they are not able to stop illegal exports of mines amounting to millions of rupees, yet it did not deter them from catching the culprits of china mobile phones, and Rs 30,000/- That should be the spirit, never give up, though they cannont catch the big fish, sure they can net smaller ones.
