Delhi police on Saturday arrested a 37-year-old man for his alleged involvement in a Rs 70 lakh theft case which was executed by his friend, who worked as the complainant’s servant.
Briefing more about the case, Additional commissioner of police Rajiv Ranjan said that the servant — Yakub Hasan (37) — was arrested near his house in north Delhi’s Kadi Vihar area in the city on Friday. According to the police, the owner of Reema Polychem Private Limited in Azadpur sent his servant Dhan Singh Bisht to collect a payment of Rs 70 lakh from his client, but after collecting the amount Bisht ran with Hasan to Nanital.
Ranjan said, as quoted by NDTV, “After collecting the cash, Bisht contacted Hasan. The two travelled to Nainital in Hasan’s car. After dropping Bisht there, Hasan returned to Delhi with Rs 4 lakh.”
Police informed that Bisht did this as a revenge. In an earlier incident, when Bisht was ferrying a large amount and was attacked by the robbers, he saved it. But instead of rewarding him, the owner only gave him a t-shirt. Police said, “He was carrying Rs. 80 lakh, but he managed to escape. He sustained injuries in the process. Instead of giving a good reward, his employer had given him a T-shirt.”
