Bengaluru Police have recovered eight stolen sporting medals, including the historic 1980 Moscow Olympics gold medal belonging to former Indian hockey captain M.M. Somaya. The medals were stolen from his New Thippasandra residence on October 28 while his family was away. Police arrested two suspects, Manikya (31) and Bharat (25), near Ramanagara, while a third accomplice remains absconding. Other recovered items include a camera, an Olympic kit bag and a traditional Kodava dagger. Somaya thanked the police, saying the recovery made him feel as though he had won the medals all over again.
