A Bhopal-based female Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) has been accused of stealing a friend's phone and Rs 2 lakh in cash in Jehangirabad.
The incident was revealed after a CCTV camera footage showed the officer carrying out the theft. The police disclosed that the accused DSP Kalpana Raghuvanshi was in friendship with a woman named Pramila for many years.
A few days ago, Pramila informed the police that the Rs 2 lakh she had withdrawn to pay school fees of her children went missing, after she returned from taking a bath. With that, her mobile phone was also not to be found.
She soon checked her CCTV surveillance footage, and was shocked to see Kalpana take the bag and leave the premises. Pramila submitted the footage and a written complaint to the police.
An FIR was registered against Kalpana after verifying the authenticity of the video. In the video, she was seen carrying cash bundles in her hands.
After the case was registered, police discovered that Kalpana has been on the run. A raid was initiated at DSP's residence and Pramila's mobile phone was recovered on the scene. The Rs 2 lakh is yet to be found, as the investigation continues.
“A case has been registered, the mobile has been recovered, and the accused officer is absconding," ACP Bittu Sharmawas quoted as saying by Aaj Tak.
