Kochi
By Our Staff Reporter
KOCHI, DEC. 6. Rs. 5 lakhs was found missing from the cash section of the Kochi Corporation office. According to a complaint filed with the police, Sudheer, cashier at the corporation, took out a briefcase containing the amount and went to sign the attendance register after placing it on the table. When he returned, he found the briefcase missing. At that time, there were 10 pensioners waiting for the cashier, apart from 30 clerks, in that room. The chances of any of them taking away the cash were slim, neither could any stranger come into the room without the corporation employees noticing his presence, said Martin K. Mathew, Assistant Commissioner of Police (City), who is heading the investigation. The Ernakulam Central Police have initiated inquiry into the complaint filed by C.E. Basheer, secretary, Kochi Corporation.

The Ernakulam Central police arrested seven persons in various search operations last night. All of them were convicted in robbery and theft cases earlier. Muthuselvan of Tirunelveli, Sajan of Poonthura, Yesudas of Mavelikkara and Basheer of Ammayimukku, Kochi, were arrested while trying to break into the SNDP building at Mullassery Canal road at 1 a.m. Baiju of Kottayam and Shaji of Kozhikode were arrested while escaping with the rear door of the Union Bank of India at M.G. Road and Kannan, alias `Military' Kannan, was arrested near Girls' High School, Chittoor Road while riding a stolen bicycle. The arrests were made by the crime squad led by Central sub-inspector G. Venu and constables Vinayakan and Antony Joseph. Muthuselvan had been convicted earlier for stealing centrifuge and sterilizers from the Public Health Laboratory at T.D. Road on July 29, 2000 and for stealing Rs. 17,400 from a shop in Arangathu Road on September 31, 2001. Kannan is an accused in many robbery cases.
