Baripada: Thanks to police apathy, crimes like thefts, chain-snatching and bike-lifting are on the rise right under the nose of Udala police in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district.
A man has been found, in CCTV footage, stealing a display model of an air-conditioner outside an electronic shop close to Udala police station Monday night. The CCTV footage also showed two patrol policemen in gossip oblivious of the general movement of suspicious elements around them.
The accused shoplifter is yet to be identified.
