Bengaluru system admin arrested for stealing 50 laptops after failed tomato farming
Bengaluru: The Bengaluru police have arrested Murugesh M, a 29-year-old system administrator, for allegedly stealing 50 laptops from his employer, Technicolor India Pvt Ltd, and selling them at reduced prices. Murugesh, a resident of Hosur, Tamil Nadu, had been employed with the company’s Whitefield office since February.
The theft came to light during a company audit, which revealed several laptops missing from inventory. An internal investigation, aided by CCTV footage, identified Murugesh as the culprit. He had been removing one or two laptops at a time, selling them to a shop in Hosur under the pretense that he was authorized to do so.
Murugesh reportedly incurred a loss of Rs 25 lakh during the COVID crisis due to unsuccessful tomato farming and an unprofitable cyber cafe venture in Hosur. To cover his debts, he resorted to theft. He ceased attending work on August 22, and the company filed a police report on August 30. Murugesh was arrested from a cinema in Hosur after a day-long surveillance by the police.
