Kadapa Fourth Additional District Magistrate P. Keshav sentenced Ahmed, a clerk at an orphanage, to six months imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs. 1,000 on him for floating a fictitious robbery theory.
Ahmed, a resident of Balajinagar, who worked at Aarti Home in Kadapa, drew Rs. 2 lakh from the account of the orphanage in Axis Bank on May 2 and boarded an autorickshaw at the Gandhi statue near Kadapa One Town police station.
He lodged a complaint with the Kadapa One Town police that two persons in the autorickshaw had threatened him with knives and robbed him of the money. Police registered a case and found during inquiry that Ahmed’s claim was fictitious.
