He was working at a hosiery unit in Bal Singh Nagar for the past two years. However, the factory owner did not get him verified through police.

Kartik Sachdeva, the complainant, told the police that his father Krishan Sachdeva, in the presence of Shivam, had kept 4 lakh in cash in a locked almirah on Thursday and kept the keys in a drawer.

On Friday, when they returned to office, they were shocked to find the almirah unlocked and the cash missing. Shivam, who lived on the factory premises, has been missing since, putting him under suspicion for the crime.

Assistant sub-inspector (ASI) Gurvinder Singh, who is the investigating official for this case, said they had lodged an FIR under Section 381 (theft by clerk or servant of property in possession of master) of the Indian Penal Code on Sachdeva’s complaint.
