Mumbai Employee Arrested for Stealing ₹1.20 Crore Entrusted Cash
A man in Mumbai was given a very large amount of money to deliver to his boss.
Instead of delivering it, he is accused of keeping the money and putting paper in the bags.
Police think his younger brother helped him hide the money.
The police found the younger brother in a village in Rajasthan.
They arrested him and found almost all of the missing money.
The older brother is still being searched for by the police.
The police are continuing their investigation to find him.
Taking money that does not belong to you is called stealing, and the police work hard to catch people who do it.
