It took two full months for a businessman’s family to realise that a spate of thefts took place at their house and property worth Rs. 1.37 crore was stolen. And, the culprit was none other than their own car driver.
Mohd. Tahsin Ali (27), hailing from Sikh village.
Twenty-three gold biscuits weighing 2.3 kilograms, 1.5 tolas of gold ornaments, one Yamaha R15 motorcycle, Honda Activa, a laptop, six cell phones, three wrist watches and Rs. 12.70 lakh cash, all worth Rs. 1.25 crore, apart from the four-wheelers, were recovered at their instance.
G. Sudheer Babu, Deputy Commissioner of Police (North), said that Tahsin was working as a car driver for the last eight years with Ajay Harinath, at Bowenpally. During November and December, Tahsin managed to obtain a duplicate key of the main door lock. “When the family was away, he stole the property using the duplicate keys ,” he said.
