Kozhikode: hospitals turn soft targets for thieves

Advertisement
Both government and private hospitals in Kozhikode have apparently become soft targets for thieves, who in turn offer support the elders as bystanders.
Such incidents have been reported at Kozhikode medical college initially, and then there were emerging reported of criminal activity even in private hospitals of the city. The elderly specially get duped by such pseudo-social bystanders, who offer support, but snatch away their gold, money, and other valuable swiftly.
One such incident was reported at the Nadakkavu police station which followed an arrest of a Mukkom-native in connection with a similar incident.
As reported by TOI, according to police, Mujeeb Rahman, (34), stole 10 sovereigns of gold and Rs.2.5 lakh from a person hailing from Kondotty. Not less than six cases were registered with the police in the last three months. Many incidents in which people lose nominal amount of money do not register complaint with the police.
