The complainant alleged that the accused executed similar thefts between August 15 and August 16 from a second vehicle (HR 61D 2271).

Police have booked the driver under Sections 303(2) (theft) and 316(2) (criminal breach of trust) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and efforts are being made to arrest the accused....
