On my refusal, they snatched the bag, and made me forcibly sit in my car parked near my office and fled,” Tiwari claimed.
Division number 2 SHO inspector Surinder Kumar claimed that the police had checked footage of 150 cameras in the vicinity of the godown. “In a clip, we see the accused, with covered faces, entering the Islamganj area,” the SHO said, adding that the mobile phone of one of workers of the victim was switched off and he was not there when they went to the godown for preliminary investigation. For now, however, a case has been registered against three unidentified persons.
