The Ram Nagar area in the jurisdiction of Maina-Curtorim police station reported a burglary in which miscreants lifted a handbag from a house in the wee hours of Wednesday.  

 The incident is believed to have occurred around 

5.30 in the morning in the house of Ram Mallik when he had left around the same 

time. 

Ram and his family had returned home from Karwar at 8.30 pm on Tuesday and had kept the gold ornaments, valued around Rs 1.38 lakh, besides cash of Rs 5000, in the wife’s handbag.  

On Wednesday, Ram left the house at around 5.30 am and was dropped by his wife near his vehicle. 

However, when the wife returned home, she found the handbag containing the gold ornaments, cash and documents such as Aadhar Card and Pan card missing, indicating that the incident took place in space of 

few minutes.  

Activist Felix Dias has urged the police to lay their hands on the culprit, saying the theft appears to be the handiwork of people, who were closely monitoring the movements of the family.
