A Police Control Room (PCR) cop was found stealing petrol from a PCR bike given to him for patrolling his beat area.

A video of the incident went viral on social media wherein a cop was seen stealing petrol from the bike.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Amandeep Kaur said the matter was being investigated to identify the cop and take further action. The incident was reported in the Kairon market parking.

A PCR bike gets around 3-5 litres of petrol on a daily basis. It is supposed to patrol the area where it was deputed at the regular intervals and visit the spot in case of any call from the police control room.
