Gurgaon: Trusted driver flees with money and valuables

A driver fled with cash and valuables belonging to his employer, a businessman living in A-Block, Sushant Lok I, Gurgaon, on Tuesday. Sanjay Bakshi, the businessman, has lodged an FIR at the Sector 29 police station.

Bakshi runs a business dealing in ready made apparels in DLF Phase I. He had employed his full-time driver four years ago. The driver stayed with the Bakshi family at their house. The driver's wife is a teacher in Sehwag International school where his son also studies. Gurgaon News

On Tuesday morning, Bakshi gave him Rs 3 lakh to deposit in the bank but he fled with the money and some apparels. He was last seen at an auto stand in the city.

“We had always trusted him with cash and other valuables," said Bakshi. "One of my biggest mistakes was that I never got his police verification done. Although I had his details I now realise that police verification is a must.”

"I tried calling him but his number is switched off," he added.

Some sources have informed that he had purchased a new mobile and taken a new SIM card 3-4 days back.
