PUNE: A 37-year-old man on Monday filed a complaint with the Nigdi police, stating that his driver had fled with his bag containing Rs 19.2 lakh.
The incident occurred at Akurdi earlier that same afternoon, when the complainant had gone to a computer and printer repair shop.
Sub-inspector Mahendra Aher of Nigdi police said the complainant Kranti Rajput, a resident of Ravet, ran an industrial unit in Talawade. “Around 1.30pm, Rajput was on his way to a bank to deposit the amount. On reaching Akurdi, he told his driver to stop at a shop as he wanted to give a printer for repairs,” he said.
Rajput had kept the bag containing cash in the car’s boot and told the driver to stay in the vehicle. “When he returned after about half an hour, he found the car was parked, but the driver was not inside. The key was in the ignition,” Aher said.
When Rajput opened the boot, he found the bag containing the cash was missing. He then filed an FIR agains the driver.
