Five arrested for embezzling ₹45 lakh at a liquor store, six linked to gang arrested with weapons and cash.
Eleven persons were arrested in two separate cases in Jharkhand’s Palamu district, police said on Monday (January 13, 2025).
In the first case, five persons were arrested for misappropriation of funds amounting to ₹45 lakh at a liquor store.
Talking to reporters, Palamu SP Reeshma Ramesan said an FIR was filed at Hussainabad police station on January 9 regarding a theft at a liquor store. "During investigation, it was found that it was not a theft case but embezzlement of ₹45 lakh, involving the store’s employees," she said.
Ms. Ramesan said the employees had filed a false theft case fearing detection by the excise department’s inspection team.
“Police arrested the store workers and recovered ₹62,600 in cash, one country-made pistol, a store locker, three broken locks, and a bike,” she said.
In another case, six persons linked to the Sujeet Sinha gang were arrested in Palamu on Sunday (January 12, 2025) night, she said. Gang leader Mr. Sinha is currently in prison.
“The accused hail from Bihar’s Aurangabad and Gaya districts, as well as from Palamu and Garhwa districts of Jharkhand. All six have criminal backgrounds,” she said.
