    Whether it is north Indians or Nepalis,for thieves there is no such boundaries.Yes,I do agree that in earlier days there were no such incidences were reporting.Ever since Konkan Railway started their operation,these types of incidences more frequently happening in almost all the nooks and corner of the district(city) and get away with their bounties by boarding the train very easily. Here only FIR or cases are registered just for name sake by the local police and start hunting for the culprits without any sign of any result.South Indians in general and Mangaloreans in particular are the easy target for them to burgle and loot.But in some cases in the name of north Indians and Nepalis,Bengalies even local thieves are trying their hands more cleverly.don't blame completely north Indians and other outsiders.

    Keep away North Indians, Nepalis except those are for education purpose from our place. South Indians are easy target for their evil deeds. Are we heard these type of theft, crimes before Konkan railway? Konkan railway is very helpful to them escape catching early morning train.
