Bengaluru: A purse belonging to a head constable, who stays at a women’s paying guest accommodation in Mathikere, was reportedly stolen. It is said the CCTV camera of the paying guest accommodation has stopped working two days before the incident taken place.
The theft occurred on April 10, but Jyothi B.A, 29, working in Malleswaram police station, filed a complaint with the jurisdictional Yeshwantpur police on April 26.
In her complaint, she said the purse had her ID card, Aadhaar card, debit card, a gold chain and other items worth Rs. 45,000. When asked about the delay in filing complaint, she cited her busy work schedule ahead of the elections.
The police, who went to the PG for inspection, said the CCTV had stopped functioning owing to a wiring problem. “There is a possibility that someone could have disconnected the CCTV to commit the theft,” said the police.
