The incident which sent shock waves in the languid city had raised serious questions of law and order situation but the police said they worked on various tip-offs and clues to crack the case. “It is a straight forward case of dacoity committed to loot the valuables and entailed the involvement of one person from Mysuru besides another accomplice from Kolar’’, said Mr. Sood.
