BANGALORE: The police arrested a person who tried to burgle a house in the Koramangala Police Station limits in the early hours of Saturday. The police gave the name of the arrested person as Darshan.

According to the police, Darshan and two others entered the house at Shobha Apartments near Bellandur Gate and tried to take away a mobile phone and a radio. The occupants of the house, Divya and P.B. Anil, tried to catch the culprits but Anil suffered a knife injury on his shoulder in the melee.
