COIMBATORE: The house break-in case reported at Luna Nagar near Kavundampalayam in November 2019 has taken a new turn with the Thudiyalur police asking the complainant to produce proper documents for the stolen gold ornaments.
The move comes after the burglar, who is now in police custody, told cops that he had taken away only gold ornaments weighing 50 sovereigns and Rs3 lakh from the house, while the compliant said 134 sovereigns gold and Rs15 lakh were stolen.
A police officer said, “We have asked the complainant to submit valid documents for the stolen gold items. We want to verify the fact.”
Earlier, the Mannuthy police in Thrissur district in Kerala had arrested Pattarai Suresh, 32, a native of Madurai, in December 2019 for robbing an elderly couple there. During inquiry, he told them that he was involved in a burglary at Luna Nagar near Kavundamapalayam. Immediately, the Kerala police alerted the Thudiyalur police, who brought Suresh to the city through prisoner transit warrant a week ago.
Three days ago, the Thudiyalur police was granted his custody for four days. Since then, a team led by Thudiyalur police inspector S Balamurali Sundaram has been interrogating him.
