Pune Police Suspend Inspector After Rs 30 Lakh Robbery Initially Recorded as Missing Bag
A daylight robbery of Rs 30 lakhs in Pune's Market Yard on October 7 was initially recorded by police as a missing bag case, delaying the registration of a robbery FIR by nearly three weeks. The incident involved two employees who were intercepted by five men on motorcycles, with a chemical spray used to incapacitate them before the cash bag was stolen. Following the arrest and confession of two suspects by Swargate police, Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar suspended a senior inspector for dereliction of duty and initiated departmental action.
