The police managed to arrest Hussain within 12 hours of the complaint and has recovered the entire amount from his possession.

A Delhi transporter Yameen Khan had a string of bad luck -- all in one week. First, he was fined Rs 1.6 lakh by the police under the newly imposed penalties under the Motor Vehicles Act. Then, the employee he sent to pay the fine, decamped with the money.

Yameen Khan had asked truck driver Jhabbu Hussain to submit the fine incurred on an overloaded lorry caught in Rewari, Haryana.

However, Hussain ran away with the money.

A distressed Khan then filed a complaint with the Delhi Police, saying that the driver had not reached the RTO office in Rewari with the money and was not picking his calls.

The police managed to arrest Hussain within 12 hours of the complaint and has recovered the entire amount from his possession.

Various police teams were formed to nab the accused. Technical surveillance was mounted on the suspected mobile numbers of the suspect and a track of his route was obtained.

Consequently, a police team was sent to his village in Ferozabad and the team laid down a trap there and caught the suspect.

During sustained interrogation, it was revealed that the accused Hussain had an altercation with his employer some days ago over incurring such a heavy fine and since then he wanted to teach Khan a lesson.
