A chauffeur who fled with Rs 14.26 lakh from his employer's car from a market in South Delhi last month was caught by police today.
27-year-old Lala Ram was nabbed on his way to his cousin's residence in Dakshinpuri, the police said today. Rs 12.19 lakh of stolen money was recovered from him.
On April 25 evening, Ram fled with the money when his employer Sunil Dahuja was shopping in the South Extension market, leaving his car at the parking lot with Ram.
On receiving a complaint, Delhi Police swung into action and found that Ram had given fake address of a village in Bulandshehar in Uttar Pradesh in his employment documents.
Several raids at possible hideouts were conducted in different districts of western UP including Bulandshehar, Khurja, Noida and Aligarh.
During interrogation, Ram confessed to the crime.
