The Delhi Police have arrested a 20-year-old man from Ludhiana for allegedly stealing Rs 6 lakh in cash and electronic items from his workplace in Naraina after being denied a salary increase.

According to a report by Indian Express, the accused, identified as Hasan Khan, carried out the theft at a bike showroom on December 31, police said on Tuesday. They have recovered cash worth Rs 5 lakh and two expensive cameras from him.

Khan, a technical expert who had been working at the showroom for over a year, reportedly planned the theft after the management refused his request for a salary hike. To avoid detection, he turned off the showroom's lights and wore a helmet to evade identification by the security cameras, police added.

After receiving a complaint, an investigative team reviewed footage from over 100 CCTV cameras and questioned staff members, eventually identifying Khan as the suspect. During his arrest, Khan allegedly confessed to the crime, and the stolen cash and items were recovered.
