Madhya Pradesh Man Arrested For Stealing Wheat Worth Rs 100 In 1980 Year

The long hand of law finally caught a man in a Madhya Pradesh district, 45 years after he was booked for stealing wheat worth Rs 100. 

Sixty-five-year-old Salim couldn’t believe it when police knocked on the doors of his grocery shop in the village of Bag in Dhar district late on Saturday night to arrest him in a wheat theft case he had committed in 1980, along with six others, when he was 20.

“During



interrogation after his arrest, Salim said that he believed that the case against him must have been forgotten and buried for once and all”, Khaltaka police outpost in-charge Mithun Chauhan told the media on Sunday. 

According to the police, Salim, an original resident of Balkhad under Balakwada police station in the neighbouring Khargone district, along with six others, were charged of stealing wheat in the Balsamund Kakad area in the district in 1980.
