A history-sheeter has been arrested in a strange case of stealing shoes of JJ hospital patients. The accused would target patients going inside the X-Ray and MRI rooms, which required footwear to be left outside before entering.

The JJ Marg police said the accused Mushtaq Ali, 38, would keep a watch on patients wearing expensive footwear. "The moment a patient removed his footwear at the entrance, Ali would flee with the footwear," said an officer.
