KOLKATA: Charu Market police have arrested a 19-year-old boy for allegedly stealing parcels supposed to be ferried by delivery boys in south Kolkata.
Cops said accused Rabi Saha, a resident of Santoshpur in Maheshtala, had stolen items worth Rs 10,000, including garments and cosmetics, from delivery boy Raja Saha (39) at Sultan Alam Road on Thursday. He might have robbed other delivery persons, as well, cops said. “The accused usually waited for delivery boys to park their vehicles and enter a house to hand over items,” said an officer.
“The complaint was filed by Raja, who said several goods were stolen while he delivered items and kept the bag on his bike. We collected CCTV footage and noticed a rickshaw puller taking the bag from the bike and loading it on his rickshaw. We have recovered all stolen items,” said DC (south) Akash Magharia.
