The Crime Branch on Monday cracked a two-decade-old burglary case by arresting a habitual offender who had decamped with gold ornaments and cash from a house in Sasthamangalam.
A team led by Inspector Biju Kumar apprehended Kalakumar, 59, of Charuvilakom in Kowdiar in connection with a burglary in the house in 1999. The accused had stolen 45 sovereigns of gold and ₹2,000 from the house. The Museum police had registered a case following the incident, but the culprit remained elusive.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
