Taking the robbery at the house of a former High Court judge in Cuttack seriously, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today asked the director general of police (DGP) to ensure the arrest of culprits.
Patnaik gave the direction when he met DGP Sanjeev Marik and police commissioner R P Sharma at the Secretariat to know about the steps taken by the police in connection with the robbery at the residence of Justice P K Mohanty.
Asking the police to tighten patrolling in various areas of Cuttack, Patnaik also asked the police to make arrangements for installation of closed circuit television (CCTV) cameras at sensitive places in the silver city.
A gang of armed robbers on Saturday night broke into the house of Justice Mohanty, tied him up and two of his family members and fled with gold ornaments, cash and a car.
Meanwhile,the Commissionerate Police has sent a team to Andhra Pradesh after suspecting involvement of outside criminals behind the robbery.
