The incident took place during a time when all the senior level managers of the company were busy attending a meeting elsewhere. While two of the salespersons present at the shop were attending to customers, one customer walked into the shop demanding a modem. Since no modem was available at the shop they turned him away.

However, the customer did not leave. He kept wandering inside the showroom giving the impression that he was taking a look at the products on display. As soon as one of the salespersons went inside and the other became busy dealing with other customers, the doctor grabbed the opportunity to run away with a thin client that was on display.

Suhani Khan, Assistant Director, Aastha Enterprises stated, "We only realized that a theft has taken place in our shop at the time of closing." Later, owing to the four CCTV cameras that were installed inside the shop, with the help of other shop owners in the reion they were able to identify the thief and lodged a complaint with the local police station in Dehradun.

Dr Chandra had purchased certain items from a nearby shop--Print Mall, and swiped his card for making payments, few days prior to the theft.

"The owner of Print Mall recognized the thief through the CCTV footage and provided his card details, after which the police caught hold of him," added Khan.

"At the moment Dr Chandra has been arrested and the police are investigating the case further. Even the thin client that he had fled with is with the police. We are thankful to all those dealers who helped us identify the thief and track him down," shared Khan.

Following the incident the owners of Aastha Enterprises have taken stricter security measures and become even more vigilant.
