Thiruvananthapuram’s Poojappura police have launched an investigation after two elephant tusks worth ₹2 crore were stolen from the Pangode Military Station in Kerala. The theft took place at the Officers’ Mess sometime between 12 a.m. on February 11 and 9 a.m. on February 12. The tusks are historic artefacts given by the State government to the Army in 1929. Subedar Vinod G.S., attached to the 2 Madras Regiment, reported that unidentified persons broke into the mess compound to steal the ivory tusks. Police suspect the thieves may be linked to a DJ party held on the military premises. Sections 331(4) and 305(e) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita have been invoked, covering house-trespass and theft. Several people have been taken into custody as the probe continues. Investigators are also reviewing the security cameras installed at the high-security station to catch the culprits.
