Police) |

ISP and the Squash fraternity are proud to have a hero
amongst us- VIKRAM KALLUDI. That he has a heart of gold is well know from
the generosity he has shown when sponsoring squash tournaments. What we
learnt from the following incident is that he has guts of steel as well!
In a real life incident which appears to have been scripted in bollywood,
a couple of lads dressed in Burkhas looted Vikram Kalludi’s jewellery
shop. The mastermind of the heist, James Almeida (19) and Jagdish Dahya
(19), co-conspirator had planned the robbery well in advance and procured
weapons and conducted a visit and recce of the shop-Ashwini Jewellers at
Lokhandwala.
The plan worked- they managed to hold the shop employees at gunpoint and
wipe the shop clean of jewellery worth 80 lakhs.
However, luck was
not on their side. While trying to escape with the loot in their getaway
car stolen earlier, they could not move forward due to a traffic jam. They
opted for an alternate road.
|
Meanwhile, the shop employees called up Kalludi, who lived just down the
very road the criminals chose! Kalludi rushed to the road with his
revolver and blocked the thieves’ path. When they pointed their guns at Kalludi, he shot two rounds at them, injuring Almeida. However, they
escaped on foot with some of the loot, while leaving some behind in the
car.
Almeida
however had to get admitted to Nanavati Hospital for getting his injuries
treated. That led to the police finding out that Almeida was responsible
for the robbery at Ashwini jewellers. The loot and weapons were recovered,
and the other accomplices in this and other crimes were also rounded up.
Vikram Kalludi was honoured by Deputy Chief Minister R.R.Patil and Police
Commisioner A.N Roy for his courage.

About squash: I
have been playing squash since the last 3 yrs now and I belive that
the game has a tremendous effect on a players/persons day to day
life. Squash has made me a more aggresive person in a positive way
it makes you want to lead all the time. It has also helped me to
stay physicaly and mentally very strong. I think its the perfect way
of keeping ourself physically fit which is the most important thing
in a busy persons life, because even if we can give time about an
hour a day for squash its more then enough mentally keeping us away
from all the other busy things. Squash
is a wonderful game.
My Hobbies: I
like to travel and learn the culture of different countries, I like
music (soft rock)
In sports: I love
to watch formula 1. |
