Bhopal, October 29 (IANS) Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Kalpana Raghuvanshi was booked for allegedly stealing money and a mobile phone from her friend’s house in Bhopal on Wednesday.
The embarrassing incident for the state police happened earlier this month; However, this came to light when a CCTV footage of the alleged incident went viral on social media on Wednesday evening.
A police officer, on the condition of anonymity, told IANS on Wednesday that the allegation against DSP Raghuvanshi was made by her friend Pramila Tiwari, who lives in Jahangirabad area of Bhopal.
According to the police, Pramila Tiwari had complained to the police station that Raghuvanshi had stolen Rs 2 lakh in cash and a mobile phone from her house.
Tiwari had told the police that he had kept Rs 2 lakh in cash and his mobile phone in a bag for his child’s school fees. She alleged that Raghuvanshi allegedly entered her house while she was taking a bath and took cash and a phone from her bag.
Tiwari became suspicious and checked her CCTV footage, which clearly showed Raghuvanshi entering and exiting her house. A CCTV footage shared by Bhopal Police on Wednesday also shows Raghuvanshi walking away with a bundle of currency notes in his hand.
Based on CCTV evidence, Tiwari lodged a formal complaint with the police. Police sources told IANS that an FIR has been registered against Raghuvanshi and the police headquarters has also issued a departmental notice to DSP Raghuvanshi.
A police officer said that the stolen mobile phone was later recovered from Raghuvanshi’s house, but Rs 2 lakh in cash was still missing and Kalpana Raghuvanshi is currently absconding.
