According to a report, a United States-based doctor lodged a complaint in which he claimed that he lost his laptop bag containing around $5,000, a laptop and its accessories. The bag also had his passport and a research paper, which contained his life’s work.

Meanwhile, with a thorough investigation, the Delhi Police managed to trace his laptop bag and track down the thief. The HT report mentioned that the professor was extremely impressed by the work so he wrote to the Delhi police commissioner, thanking the department for tracing his belongings.

Reportedly, the area from which the bag was stolen was covered by the CCTV cameras. Sanjay Bhatia, Deputy Commissioner of Police told HT that they recreated the crime scene and while inspecting it, they noticed that although several cameras were installed, they had different controlling authority.

Detailed investigation revealed that within 15 minutes, the bag, which the professor had forgotten, was picked up by someone and after scanning the footage from 500 different cameras, they zeroed in on four vehicles.
