Zirakpur police have registered a theft case after goods and assets worth around Rs 1.5 crore were allegedly stolen from a luxury store on Oxford Street. The store owner has named manager Mohina Diwani, alias Deempi, as the primary suspect in the FIR.
According to the complaint, employees found the store's locks broken on August 9. More than 200 designer dresses, around 15,000 metres of imported fabric, two air conditioners, a sound system, a laptop and a computer with business data were missing. A file with employee identity documents, salary details and purchase invoices was also taken.
A security guard reportedly saw Diwani near the rear of the store the evening before the theft, and she told him she was shifting inventory. Her residential flat was found vacant, and security staff said she had vacated two days earlier. Police have registered a case under Section 306 (theft) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and are examining CCTV footage.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This case highlights a recurring vulnerability for retail businesses: trusted employees with access to premises and inventory records. The alleged involvement of a manager in a theft of this scale raises questions about internal controls, particularly the absence of dual custody or regular stock audits. Under Section 306 BNS, the maximum punishment for theft is up to seven years and a fine. The key evidence will be CCTV footage and the security guard's testimony. Investigators will also track the accused's financial transactions and mobile location data to establish her movements before and after the theft.
