Koppal policeman caught on camera stealing milk packets, citizens demand strict action

KOPPAL: In a case of the fence eating the crop, a policeman has been caught on camera stealing milk packets from trays kept outside a shop in the early morning hours. The theft occurred around 4.40 am on August 28, but has come to light only now.

He first arrived on his motorcyle and surveyed the scene.

The police constable, identified as Shivanand Sajjan, is posted in the Deputy SP’s office. On the day of the incident, Sajjan was on night patrol.

In the CCTV footage, he can be seen parking his motorcycle, loitering around for some time, then putting his hand into the top-most tray of the stack kept outside a milk booth and taking out two packets of milk and keeping them in his motorcycle.

After the video went viral on social media, angry citizens have questioned the action of the police constable and have demanded strict action against him.
