Gurgaon multi-crore theft case, IPS suspended.
An investigation into the multi-crore theft case has taken on an entirely new dimension; it began as a robbery at a society in Gurgaon but has grown beyond most people’s imagination; it now involves two doctors, an officer with the Delhi Police and an IPS officer who worked under a gangster.
The Delhi Police is investigating the theft case. Still, it all started when a case of theft was reported by an employee of a company on August 21, looking after the maintenance of a residential society in sector 84, Gurgaon.
According to the complaint, he kept the money in the office, which was collected from the customers for the service they provided, but when they decided to deposit the funds into the bank, the money was missing. They suspected cash being stolen on August 20.
The amount of money stolen was mentioned in the FIR filed initially. Still, later on, police told the around Rs 50 Lakhs were stolen from the residents of the flat as per the supplementary statement.
After ten days, an exchange fire took place near the Delhi-Gurgaon border. After that, police arrested three people Abhinav, Dara Singh, and Amit Alias Mitte, and they worked for a gang led by Vikas Lagarpuria. Vikas Lagarpuria is also suspected of having planned the theft through his men.
During the interrogation, among the arrested, Dara Singh spoke out the name of Assistant Sub Inspector Vikas Gulia from Delhi Police. He was placed in the Delhi Police particular cell.
Dara Singh said that inspector Vikas Gulia and gangster Vikas Lagarpuria were childhood friends as they grew up in the same village. After the robbery, the money was handed over to the Assistant Sub Inspector.
On that note, Vikas Gulia was arrested on October 8 from a Police Training College located in Wazirabad for his involvement in the theft.
Meanwhile, the gangster Vikas Lagarpuria is suspected to be hiding somewhere abroad, and his share of money from the theft was kept in a safe place.
The case was later shifted to the Special Task Force (STF) of Haryana Police as Delhi Police suspected the theft of money of approx. Rs 15 crores.
After further investigation, Haryana Police’s Special Task Force arrested two doctors based on Gurgaon, Dr G P Singh and Dr Suchender Jain Nawal, for providing information of the money and location to the gangster and involvement in the theft.
During the interrogation, it came up with another name; Dr Suchender Nawal took the name of an IPS officer Dheeraj Sethia, who was posted as DCP in Gurgaon at the time of theft.
The case court also decided to monitor the investigation so that the police could not destroy the pieces of evidence or try to temper them. But on December 10, the court decided to suspend the police officer.
Authorities from Haryana have also requested ED (Enforcement Directorate) and the Income Tax Department to investigate the case.
Who could have imagined that theft could include so many people from reputed professions like doctors and even IPS officers? Police are there to protect the citizens but then will go down to this level where the citizens are supposed to go.
People still believe if something wrong happens, some officers will protect them and help them, but this kind of incident will make them think that are they really for our protection or they joined the duty just for the sake of powers.
Even the doctors’ profession is considered a noble profession; people recognize them as a god who saves lives and helps everyone, but the timing is changing. You can say, doctors and police officers are getting involved in many illegal and wrongdoings.
This is not the first case that involves police and doctor, but many instances in the past prove the point.
