Brother offers ₹51,000 for mobile stolen from chief engineer’s body
Ludhiana Five days after a chief engineer of Budhewal Sugar Mill died in a road mishap near Samrala, his Canada-based brother has offered ₹51,000 in cash to return his mobile phone, which was stolen from the accident spot, to the family.
In an emotional appeal to those who stole the phone, Jaswinder Singh Dilwari, 45, said the phone contained pictures and memories of his dead brother, which are valuable to the family.
Jaswinder, in his appeal, said that when his brother Aminderpal Singh Dilwari, 53, was struggling to get out of the mangled car, someone had stolen his mobile phone instead of rescuing him.
Jaswinder added that his brother’s phone was gifted to him by his two children and he can even increase the amount of reward for returning the phone.
Aminderpal Singh Dilawri, who worked as chief engineer at the sugar mill in Budhewal village near Kohara of Ludhiana, was going to the mill for duty in his car when the vehicle crashed into a carcass and turned turtle after rolling over at least 5 times.
Jaswinder further said that it was his brother’s birthday on January 13. After spending two days with family in Mohali, he was returning to Ludhiana for duty that night.
