Special teams formed

Under instructions from Inspector General of Police (West Zone) Pramod Kumar, special teams have been formed to nab those involved in the murder of a watchman while trying to loot the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Bank at Kurunellipalayam near Kinathukadavu.

A gang allegedly strangled the watchman, but it could not take away cash and jewellery from the bank as the alarm went off.
