Burglars have made away with gold valuables worth Rs 80,000 from a doctor’s house here on Sunday.
The incident has occurred at the residence of Dr G Srinivas on Housing Board road. He is working at primary health centre in Kattemalalavadi village, Hunsur taluk in Mysore district.

Srinivas who was shocked to find the articles ransacked on returning, informed police.
Dy SP Kala Krishnaswamy, circle police inspector Venkatesh, sub-inspector K Manju visited the spot along with a dog squad.
