The police have arrested a suspended office assistant for allegedly stealing a court seal in the Egmore court complex.
The police identified the accused as Vivekanandan, 48, who was an office assistant and had been suspended from service for dereliction of duty.

After analysing the CCTV camera footage, Vivekanandan was arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
