Police have arrested the friend, identified as Sushil Kumar alias Toppi, 42, from Ludhiana, and have recovered eight of the stolen gold bars weighing a kilogram each.
The employee under suspicion, identified as Rajan Bawa, 35, is currently absconding, officers said.
“The role of Bawa in the misappropriation of his employer’s gold bars has been confirmed since he is absconding since the crime took place on July 10 in West Enclave near Pitampura in northwest Delhi. We are also probing if Bawa’s father, Kashmir Giri, was also involved in the conspiracy. His role would be ascertained once we arrest and interrogate Bawa,” said deputy commissioner of police (outer) Harendra Kumar Singh.
Police have booked the two under Indian Penal Code (IPC) provisions pertaining to impersonation and cheating, officers said.
Police said Bawa is the son a Shiv Sena (Punjab) leader from Ludhiana who was arrested in 2021 for allegedly faking an attack on himself in order to get additional security cover for himself and his son.
