Somaya thanks cops for recovering stolen Oly gold
Bengaluru: Former India hockey captain M M Somaya on Wednesday thanked the Bengaluru Police for recovering his stolen valuables, including the 1980 Olympic gold medal, saying the recovery made him feel as though he had won the medals all over again.
All the stolen articles, including eight medals, a camera, a Kodagu dagger and an Olympic kit bag, along with the two-wheeler allegedly used in the crime, have been recovered, Bengaluru Police Commissioner Seemant Kumar Singh said .
Two persons have been arrested in connection with the burglary. "I am extremely happy and grateful to the Bengaluru Police for working really hard and recovering all the valuables stolen from my residence," Somaya said. He said the medals held immense sentimental value as they were won during a time when hockey was an amateur sport and offered little financial reward.
