Police unravel crime, in reverse
Staff Reporter
CHENNAI:
Theft discovered. Victim files complaint with police. Police investigate and apprehend culprit — the normal order of events when a crime occurs.
But in this case it was the other way round. Police first traced the culprit and later traced the victim.
C. Sylendra Babu, Joint Commissioner of Police, North, said M.K.B. Nagar police received a complaint that Sivalingam, a watchman, was spending lavishly. When police interrogated him, Sivalingam revealed that he had take 13 sovereigns of jewellery from a bag given to him by Dhandapani, a bus driver from Kodambakkam.
It turned out that Kamalapathy, a civil engineer from Saidapet, had lost a bag in May while returning home from Karaikal. Dhandapani, who found the bag, handed it over to Sivalingam without checking its contents. Sivalingam took the jewellery and returned the bag.
Dhandapani said he had thrown the bag into a ditch. Police found the bag and a Karaikal phone number in it. They called the number, traced Kamalapathy and restored the jewellery to him.
