Attempted Burglary in Tamil Nadu

Earlier, in a separate incident in Tamil Nadu, a youth was allegedly caught red-handed while attempting to break into a locked house and commit theft in the Kollaimaedu area of Varagoorpatti near Timiri in Ranipet district. The house belongs to 74-year-old Masilamani, a farmer from the area. He had left home on Tuesday evening to attend a relative's wedding in the Gudiyatham area.

At around 10 pm, neighbours reportedly heard noises coming from Masilamani's house and alerted him over the phone. Masilamani then informed his nephew Srinivasan and asked him to go to the house and check. Srinivasan immediately rushed to the house and was shocked to find that the door had been broken open. On hearing continued noises from inside, he entered the house and allegedly found a masked man wearing gloves and attempting to break open the cupboards. Srinivasan reportedly caught the man red-handed. When he removed the man's mask, he identified him as Rajkumar, a youth from the same locality. Following the information, Timiri police reached the spot and took Rajkumar into custody for questioning. (ANI)
