The complainant said he got suspicious after seeing the silver returned to them as it looked new and did not resemble the one that was stolen.
Even as a special investigation team (SIT) probes the alleged theft of British-era gold coins by four cops in Madhya Pradesh's Alirajpur district, a complaint accusing the police of stealing silver has emerged, an official said on Wednesday.
The complainants have alleged that the cops at Nanpur police station in the tribal-dominated district have not only handed them over less quantity of silver than that was stolen but also of inferior quality.
The complaint comes amid an SIT probe against four cops from Sondwa police station for allegedly stealing 240 British-era gold coins from a tribal family that had stumbled upon the antique items while digging at a site in Gujarat and hidden them at their home in Alirajpur district.
