'Black man' caught in Varkala

VARKALA: The colony residents of Varkala who had sleepless nights for the past two weeks in the name of black man, finally caught a migrant worker with black mask on his face. Two others fled to safety.

A sword, iron rod and a blade have been recovered from him. The residents refused to hand over the black man to local cops as they wanted top officials to reach the spot. He was caught at 2 am Monday morning from Ambedkar Colony in Edava.
