Mangaluru: A theft in an electronic shop near Mahakalipadpu has raised fingers at the efficient police department itself.
On Sunday night, robbers targeted M K Electronics here. After gaining entry into the shop by breaking open the shutters, the robbers fled with Rs 5,000 in cash and cigarettes worth Rs 9000.
However, the fact that night patrol police were stationed merely 10 mts away from the shop has left the locals seething with anger. The Pandeshwara police who are put up across the railway track on night duty failed to get even an inkling of the theft which happened right under their nose.
