    Courageous act by the police officer. Hope this gives a warning sign to the village robbers. Show no mercy. These scums should be eliminated from society along with their next of kin. Because they will do the rounds in the next wave . Useless people living off subsidies.

    Great public service by this police officer...No one dare to challenge the robbers with guns and yet this officer risked his Life to stop them getting away with robbery..it is not advisable for any public to challenge and this officer had done his duty and I think he must be promoted and appreciated for his great service . The country suffers a lot right now and crimes are increasingly high now . So the government must address the real issue otherwise we will see more and more like this .

    Will the owner get the full money recovered by the POLITICE? The sum under police custody seems dangerous than the robber who robbed the money.

    Great act by the Policeman. Take action to promote him to the next rank and also give him a substantial monetary reward. Majority of Policeman are good like in all professions. It is the politicians who have ruined the police.
