The Chavakkad police arrested a 22-year-old man from Assam for allegedly breaking into a house near Manathala Block Office at Chavakkad in Kerala’s Thrissur district and attempting to steal valuables.

The arrested is Radheshyam Garh, 22, a native of Naharkatia in Dibrugarh district, Assam.

The incident took place on 11th September when the front and back doors of the house owned by the complainant’s father, located behind the Manathala Block Office, were found broken open.

The complainant and his friend entered the house to check the premises and found a man sleeping in an upstairs bedroom. They immediately alerted the police, who arrived at the scene and took the man into custody.

During interrogation, the police identified him as Garha. A subsequent search of the house and an investigation revealed that in an attempt to steal valuables, he allegedly broke into the house, opened cupboards and other storage areas and scattered things.

The complainant later came to the police station and identified the accused. As Garh does not understand Malayalam, the police arranged for the assistance of an Assamese-speaking interpreter to ensure that he understood the nature of the alleged offense and the court proceedings.

After completing the required legal formalities, the police formally arrested him at around 10:15 a.m. on September 12. A case has been registered against him at the Chavakkad police station. The accused was brought before the court and taken into custody.
