    no use arresting these guys, the real culprit is somebody else. Even if they were not arrested they would not have got anything for this. Somebody who was jealous of this transaction has reported these guys. I think we have better things to do. Police need not pat their backs.

    Dear Britto , I totally disagree with ur opinion. If ur opinion is really fair towards crimes and criminals , then apply ur verdict to politicians who are looting our country.
