Family away, man stays back in Bengaluru

According to a complaint filed by P Jagadish, from Maruthi Layout in Katamnallur, his family had travelled to Andhra Pradesh on Sept 25. Jagadish, who works in the finance department at a private hospital in Hoskote, stayed back in Bengaluru. He and his friends planned a movie night out.

After returning from work, he locked his house around 10.15pm and left for the theatre. Upon his return, Jagadish was aghast to find the front door of his house ajar. According to his complaint, one intruder was tall and thin and wearing a helmet, while the other was of average height and had covered his face with a mask. He suspects the miscreants were aged between 25 and 30 years.
