Police officers are meant to ensure the safeness of citizens and in Tamilnadu there is a famous saying to describe the role of Police officials in Tamil which will say as “Kavalthurai Ungal Nanban” (Police department is your friend). In this bizarre crime which took place in Pudhukottai, Tamilnadu, a couple of Police officers behaved like friend a bit too much it seems. They steal a glass tumbler which was kept for public use to consume alcohol.

A police constable and a home guard have been caught on CCTV camera stealing tumbler in Pudukkottai district of Tamil Nadu. Volunteers placed free drinking water and silver tumbler in earthen pots for commuters in Tamil Nadu’s Aranthangi town to tackle the hot summer near a mosque in the village. The tumbler was missing on the following morning. They placed a new tumbler. That too went missing.

They were confused to find the tumblers they placed for drinking, vanish every night. To solve the mystery of the vanishing tumblers, they placed CCTVs in the area. When the volunteers fixed the CCTV to find the culprits, they were stunned to find two uniformed policemen stopping near a free water station and stealing the tumblers.
