Deaf and mute thief leaves Ahmedabad cops puzzled - India - DNA
The Rakhial police on Tuesday arrested a youth in connection with a theft incident that took place in their jurisdiction. However, they had a tough time interrogating him as he is not only hearing-impaired but also speech-impaired.
According to the police, 19-year-old Narendra Bathal, a resident of Kuberpura in Asarwa area, was involved in a burglary at a factory in Rakhial. The police said that cash and valuables collectively worth Rs1.51 lakh were stolen from the factory located next to Maniar Traders in the area. The theft took place a few days ago.
According to a police complaint, Rs1.41 lakh cash and valuables worth Rs70,000 were stolen from the factory. Acting on a tip-off, the Rakhial police nabbed Bathal from near a graveyard in Gomtipur area. Upon searching him, the police also recovered Rs70,000 of the stolen cash.
The cops then took Bathal to the Rakhial police station for further interrogation. That waswhen they learnt that the youth was unable to communicate. After a while of guessing what the youth was trying to communicate, they brought in a sign language expert to interpret his confession. In 2008, Bathal had been arrested by the Shahibaug police in connection with another case of theft. The Rakhial police also suspect the youth's involvement in other incidents of theft in their area.
