Delhi: Man commits burglary at factory to avenge father's dismissal
A 26-year-old man and four of his friends allegedly burglarized a factory in Delhi's Mundka area to avenge his father's removal from the factory over suspicion of thefts, police said on Wednesday. The accused, Akshay, along with his friends Vicky (23), Govind (21), Krishan (23), and Dharmender (39) broke into the factory on March 20. All of them have been arrested.
Akshay's father worked in the factory for over 20 years
"Akshay's motive was to avenge the humiliation faced by his father after the factory's owner raised suspicion of his involvement in thefts on the premises," Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Parminder Singh. "Akshay's father had worked for the factory for over 20 years and after his dismissal, they were forced to leave the premises where they had been living for long," he said.
Earlier, a case was registered regarding thefts at the factory
"Akshay, who was very well aware of the entry and exit routes of the factory, planned the burglary and executed it with the help of his friends," the police said. "After various electronic devices, commercial LPG cylinders, aluminum bars and other items were found stolen from the factory, a case was registered in connection with the incident at Mundka Police Station," the DCP said.
One of the accused was apprehended by the police
"One of the accused involved in the incident was identified as Vicky. He was apprehended when he came to dispose a stolen property at PVC market. He had come in a Gramin Seva vehicle, which was also used to commit burglary at factory," DCP said.
Akshay confessed to the crime, stolen items recovered
"Vicky's questioning led to the arrest of Akshay, who confessed to the crime and the roles of his friends," the police said. "Based on Akshay's disclosures, raids were conducted at several places which led to the arrest of the remaining accused, and the recovery of stolen items from them," the police said. With the arrests, police has claimed to have solved eight theft cases.
