Two persons have been arrested for allegedly stealing two wooden chairs from the University Business School, Panjab University.

One of the suspects, Vinod Jaswal, 40, an auto driver and resident of Dhanas, was caught with two damaged chairs in his vehicle from the forest area on the rear of the varsity campus on Friday. The other suspect, Krishan, 30, a resident of Sector 56, had allegedly committed the theft.

The police suspect the two chairs stolen from the UBS last month might be a part of heritage furniture.

PU Chief Security Officer Vikram Singh said, “We were unable to examine the recovered items today as the official concerned in the UBS was unavailable. We will visit the police station tomorrow to examine whether it was heritage furniture or ordinary chairs.” Sources said the furniture was stolen from the building over a fortnight ago but kept at a deserted place behind the PU.

Sector 11 SHO Ranjodh Singh, said, “More people could be involved in the crime. Vinod was driving the auto when alert PCR personnel, including Constable Shankar Kumar, apprehended them. Vinod tried to escape but was nabbed. His associate, Krishan, managed to flee but was later arrested.”
