New Delhi:Exposing the criminal mentality of some men in Khaki, the Delhi Police arrested one of its own personnel for stealing Rs 50 lakh and valuables from the anti-terror unit's warehouse in South Delhi, an official said on Monday.
Head Constable Khurshid, who was shifted out of the Special Cell to the East District a few days ago, was arrested on Saturday for stealing Rs 50 lakh in cash in addition to gold jewellery of an unspecified amount from the Special Cell malkhana (store room) at the Lodhi Road office, the official said.
He was identified and arrested using CCTV footage of Friday night when the theft took place, he said, adding that the stolen items have been recovered.
According to officials, Khurshid relied upon departmental information about the presence of valuables and cash in the malkhana to execute the theft.
Khurshid managed to execute his plan flawlessly and could have got away easily but for an alert malkhana incharge who detected that there was something amiss in the warehouse, the police said.
