Kerala : In an interesting turn of events, a thief who stole gold ornaments from a house at Karumadi in Alappuzha district of Kerala, has returned the the ornaments along with a letter of apology.
According to a report by the Times of India, Madhukumar and his family, from whose house the theft occurred came to know about the incident when they returned home after attending a wedding in Karuvatta.
As per reports by The Hindu, the police is reported to have said, “After returning home, they examined the cupboard and found that gold earrings and other ornaments weighing around one sovereign were missing. Mr Madhu lodged a complaint with the police on Wednesday. He also named a person whom he suspected. However, to everyone’s surprise someone left the missing gold ornaments along with an apology letter at the gate of Mr. Madhu’s house on Thursday morning,”
The letter reads, “Please forgive me, I did this because of my circumstances and I’m sorry.”
“I will not repeat such things again. Please don’t go to the police against me,” he added in the letter.

Though, in this case, the owner of the house had given the police, the CCTV footages of the theft following which the police had posted the footage on social media, from where it reached the thief.
Asianet news had reported that the thief returned the goods with an apology letter saying “I’m a student. I made a mistake, please don’t ruin my life. If the police catch me, they will charge me with all cases pending in the station. The tension is killing me, please tell the police to take down the Facebook post.”

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
