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.
Madhu is reportedly not interested in pursuing the case.

In a similar incident which took place in Thiruvananthapuram last year, a thief who had stolen some luxury goods from a house had returned the goods back to the owner with an apology letter as well.
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.”

Raipur (PTI): Amid reports of shortage of commercial LPG cylinder in several parts of the country due to the US-Israel-Iran conflict, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday assured people that they need not worry about the availability of cooking gas in the state.
He asserted that adequate stock of LPG as well as petrol and diesel was available in the state.
Sai said in a statement that authorities have been directed to regularly monitor stock at gas agencies and keep a close watch on the supply chain. Necessary instructions were issued to officials in all districts to ensure a smooth supply of LPG.
The chief minister instructed officials to take strict action if any complaint of black marketing or hoarding of LPG cylinders is received.
Sai urged state residents not to pay attention to rumours and to book cooking gas cylinders as per their actual requirement.
The government was fully alert to ensure the availability of essential commodities to citizens, he emphasised.
Meanwhile, the Chhattisgarh Hotel and Restaurant Association has issued an advisory to hotels, restaurants, caterers and other food businesses across the state, urging them to maintain calm and avoid panic buying.
In the advisory, Taranjeet Singh Hora, president of the association, asked members to maintain coordination and immediately inform it about any major disruption in LPG supply.
He cautioned businesses against hoarding cylinders, saying such practices could worsen the situation for the entire hospitality sector.
The association advised hotels and restaurants to prioritise essential kitchen operations, core menu items and already committed banquet events.
Use electric cooking equipment wherever possible for emergency and staff kitchens such as induction cooktops, electric hot plates, electric rice cookers and kettles, the advisory stated.
