Khatauli. Goods worth lakhs of rupees were stolen, the thieves were caught, the scrap dealers to whom the thieves sold the goods were also identified, then the thieves were released from police custody. Despite all this, the police action in the name of solving the theft case is zero.

A person residing in the Shivpuri Mohalla of the town has an electrical goods shop near the Jansath junction. The businessman has made a warehouse in the lower part of his house in Shivpuri. Four youths working for the businessman gradually stole copper wire worth about four lakh rupees from the warehouse. The businessman came to know about the burglary in the warehouse when he was caught red-handed stealing on the night of July 12. The victim businessman had demanded action from the police by giving a written complaint against the accused in the police station that very night.

It is being said that the police had arrested three out of four thieves and brought them to the police station. During interrogation, the thieves had told the police the names and addresses of the three junk dealers to whom they had sold the stolen goods. It is being said that the police have searched the three junk dealers and then released the three thieves from the police station. It is being said that now the police is assuring the victim businessman that he will catch the fourth thief who is absconding and will compensate for his loss.

It was told that the victim businessman is also fully aware of whatever has happened so far in the name of police action. But he is confident of the assurance given by the police that he will be compensated 100% for the loss. Overall, along with the theft incident becoming an unsolved mystery, it is also exposing the working of the Kotwali police. Whereas what should have happened was that the theft happened, the victim gave a written complaint naming the thieves, the police should have caught the thieves, interrogated the thieves and arrested those who bought the stolen goods, exposed the incident and sent the thieves to jail and praised their good work. But there would have been no scope for feeling good in creating so much trouble.
