Bathinda, Oct 26: A major investigation is underway in Bathinda following the theft of high-value mobile phones worth four point five eight crore rupees from a local e-commerce distribution hub in Bhucho. Law enforcement officers have taken two company employees into custody while launching a wider search for several other suspects linked to the break-in.
According to preliminary details provided by police officials, the delivery arrived at the franchisee-run godown during the early hours of Saturday. The suspects allegedly accessed the stock within hours of arrival, removing hundreds of units along with the facility’s central digital video recording unit before fleeing the premises.
The missing lock on the main shutter was discovered by morning staff, leading to an immediate response from senior police teams. Investigators noted that the deliberate removal of the CCTV storage system forms a key focus of the ongoing technical probe.
Authorities stated that the two arrested employees, identified as Lovepreet Singh and Surinder Singh, are being questioned. Police maintained that teams are actively pursuing remaining suspects identified as Baljinder Singh, Gautam, and Sukhpreet Singh, while working to trace the destination of the stolen devices.
