In fact, a matter of theft has come to light from Jabalpur Railway Station in which a 62-year-old man used to steal goods and valuables from the passengers of AC coaches. It is said that being old enough, the elderly was easily able to mingle with people due to which he was never suspected by them.

The Government Railway Police informed that the accused is a resident of Seoni, who also used to live in Beauharbagh of Jabalpur. Gold and silver jewellery worth 3 lakhs including 16 suitcases and many expensive watches have been recovered from the accused and currently, he is under arrest. There are theft cases registered against the accused in the past also.

Passengers used to ignore him considering him elderly

While interrogating, the elderly told that the accused stole from the passengers while they were sleeping. The passengers were never much cautious as they thought that he was an elderly man and he will not cause any harm.

The police have taken action to seize dozens of suitcases including precious gold and silver jewellery from the possession of the old man. The police is now interrogating the accused about other thefts.
