Absconding police woman misusing recovered stolen jewellery apprehended by her colleagues
Coimbatore: Swapnasuja (40) was working in the Singanallur police as a grade 2 constable and was assigned to process theft-related crimes and follow them up at the courts.
She was also entrusted with the duty of handing over recovered jewellery to the owners after producing them before the court.
Swapnasuja had reportedly failed to hand over 50 sovereigns of jewels to the respective owners. When inquired by the senior officials, she kept giving vague answers and subsequently went on a long leave.
She was then placed under suspension. Learning that the constable has failed to hand over the recovered jewels, Singanallur police carried out a search for Swapnasuja and apprehended her last night. She was later produced in court and lodged in the Central Jail.
It is noteworthy that Swapnasuja was once felicitated by a judicial magistrate for helping in clearing cases in record time.
