In an unusual incident in Mangaluru, a teenage boy got caught while trying to smuggle in his friend into his apartment complex by stuffing him inside a suitcase.

The incident happened in an apartment complex located on Arya Samaj Road in the coastal city of Karnataka. The PU student resorted to the bizarre attempt after the apartment association had prohibited outsiders from entering the complex amid the coronavirus scare.

Speaking to Indian Express, Mangaluru East police official said, “The teen was so bored staying alone hence he asked the apartment association to allow his friend into his flat. But the request was denied by the association so he took up this idea to sneak his friend into the apartment.”

The security guards at the apartment got suspicious when they noticed something moving inside the suitcase. They alerted the residents who then stopped the teenager. When the case was opened they found another boy inside. The residents immediately alerted the police.

However, the police did not register a case against the two for violating the lockdown. “We brought them to the station for questioning and let them off by giving warning,” police official added.
