In a swift operation, Kadaba police arrested Sinu Kurian, a man wanted in connection with a daylight robbery at a house near Mardala. The robbery occurred when the victim’s family, led by James, an autorickshaw driver, was away at church.
During questioning, James, who is a neighbor of the accused, admitted to committing the theft due to financial distress. He stole gold and cash from the house, which were later recovered from his residence. Following his arrest, James was remanded to judicial custody for 14 days.
The police also learned that Sinu Kurian, after committing the theft, was mentally distressed and had even considered suicide by going to the railway track, but was apprehended by the authorities before taking any drastic step.
The police are continuing their investigation into the case.
