Who is Tanvi Patri, India’s first female Youth Olympic medallist in badminton?

Former Indian hockey captain M M Somaya is seeking Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar's assistance to recover an Olympic gold medal and three other international sporting medals stolen from his home in Bengaluru. The stolen items, including a 10-gram gold bangle, an eight-gram gold coin, silver cups, spoons and a silver pot, have a combined value of Rs353,000.

Somaya, a three-time Olympian and Arjuna Award winner, played a key role in India's 1980 Moscow Olympic hockey triumph, marking the country's eighth Olympic gold medal. The burglars also stole Rs30,000 in cash during the October 28th incident, which was discovered by a neighbor around 7.15am. Police are actively investigating the case, and two special teams have been formed to identify the suspects and recover the stolen property.
