BANGALORE: Thieves broke into the house of a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) official in K.R. Puram police station limits on Monday night and made away with Rs. 1.15 lakh in cash and gold ornaments worth Rs. 57,000.

According to police, the burglary took place at the house of K.M. Ramesh, a CBI Inspector, in ITI Colony.

As the "gruha pravesha" of Mr. Ramesh's new house in Ramamurthynagar was scheduled for Tuesday, he had locked his ITI Colony house and had gone to Ramamurthynagar on Monday evening.

On Tuesday morning when he returned, he found that the house was burgled.

On a complaint by Mr. Ramesh, the K.R. Puram police have registered a case.

Cash stolen

Thieves made away with Rs. 2 lakhs in cash that was kept in the utility box of a scooter parked in front of a bank in Peenya on Monday afternoon.

Police said that Harish, who owns a steel trading firm on Nagarabavi Ring Road, had given three cheques to his employee, Chandrashekar, to get them encashed.

Chandrashekar presented two cheques at two banks in Vijayanagar and Malleswaram and obtained Rs. 2.04 lakhs. He then went to a bank in Peenya to encash the third cheque.

He parked the scooter in front of the bank around 2.15 p.m. and returned a few minutes later only to find the cash kept in the scooter's utility box missing, the police said.

The Rajagopalanagar police have registered a case.

Suicide

Abhishek, 17, son of a clerk in the Railway Superintendent's office, allegedly committed suicide by hanging from a ceiling fan at his house in Central Armed Reserve quarters in J.J. Nagar police station limits on Tuesday.

According to police, Abhishek's father Narayanakumar, his mother and sister, left the house around 8.30 a.m., leaving Abhishek in the house. Abhishek's sister came home after an hour and found the house locked from inside. When she opened a window, she saw the Abhishek's body hanging from the ceiling fan, police said. The motive for the suicide is not known.

The body of a 23-year-old man was found near Mahadevapura Lake on Tuesday morning.
