As soon as the control room got the alert, they sent the message to the local Hoysala patrol team. ASI Venkataramu and Head Constable Anil Kumar from the Kadugodi station were at the scene in just five minutes. After getting the details, they did something clever – they called the stolen mobile number. When the thief, Sunil, answered the call, the police gave him a stern warning right there on the phone.
This phone call completely spooked Sunil. He came to the spot where the police were, handed over the mobile, and then tried to make a run for it. But the cops were ready and caught him. They took him to the station for questioning. Officials later said that based on the exact location of the crime, the case has been transferred to the Whitefield police station.
