A Delhi Police head constable has been arrested for allegedly stealing Rs 51 lakh and gold kept at the malkhana of the Special Cell’s Lodhi Road office.

The accused, identified as Khurshid, was posted at the Lodhi Road office of the Special cell. After his transfer to Northeast Delhi, Khurshid returned and stole the valuables kept inside the malkhana, a police official said.

A case was registered in this regard on May 31. Khurshid was transferred to East Delhi. He returned to the Lodhi Colony Special Cell office with a plan. He stole gold and cash from the property room and left the spot.

It was also revealed that Khurshid often used to come to the Special Cell office. After scrutinising the CCTV footage, he was arrested. Gold and cash have been recovered from his possession.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
