In a case of police apathy, a man who approached the police multiple times after he went to report the thefts taken place in his oil shop in Malvani, was turned away, without registering a complaint or filing a case.

The shop owner alleged that a thief broke into the oil shop thrice last month and after approaching the police to register a complaint on the theft, no action was taken. He said that due to the inaction by the police, he has stuck a picture of the thief outside his shop to alert his customers.
