Staff correspondent, August 23, 2015, NewsCrunch
A policeman, in uniform, has been caught on camera stealing petrol from an oil tanker at Roorkie, Uttarkhand.
The footage shot on a mobile camera and shared by India TV shows the as yet unidentifide cop drawing oil from a stationary tanker in a white tub.
The act happens in broad daylight; there is some traffic around, but the cop is brazen.
Stealing oil from tanakers is a lucrative trade for local mafia all over the country. But it is not common to find a policeman in the act.
Ironically, Uttarkhand police had reportedly launched a drive recently to stop theft from oil tankers.
