The police have caught hold of the burglar who robbed the showroom of
Jalandhar-based Computer Associate. However, in a strange twist of events, the
accused has confessed to committing the crime but claims he only stole three
laptops, whereas Saurav Walia, Proprietor, Computer Associate had registered a
complaint of eight missing laptops.
When enquired with Walia about the number of laptops stolen from the store,
he said, “Eight laptops went missing from my showroom, which amounts to around
Rs 12 lakh, but the accused has admitted to stealing only three laptops. The
remaining five laptops are still missing.” An ICICI Bank cheque was also missing
from the showroom. The police nabbed the accused while he was depositing the
cheque. Replying to the query of whether the thief had attacked the showroom on
his own Walia said, “The thief has admitted to having done the act single
handedly but there is a possibility of the involvement of a bigger gang with
him.”
However, according to people operating in the IT market of Jalandhar, only
three laptops were actually stolen from Computer Associate, and it is only to
get insurance of a large amount of money that Walia has deliberately registered
a loss of Rs 12 lakh with the police. Page(s) 1
