Bajal theft case


The incident had reportedly taken place near the Bajal Railway Cross when the  vehicle in which Bhurra Ram from Rajasthan and his friends were travelling  from Mangaluru towards BC Road was intercepted by four  unidentified assailants.

 It has been gathered that the assailants  who brandished knives and pistols,  robbed the cash,  cell phones and other valuables from the merchants before  fleeing from the spot.

The suspicion is that one  Bhanwar Maharaj who was driving the vehicle  might have abetted the crime as he had driven the vehicle towards Kankanady Railway station instead  of towards BC Road.

Further investigations are underway.
