The accused have taken only the laptops and its accessories and nothing else has been touched. This indicates that they might be involved in fraud business of
laptops," said Jain.
He further registered a FIR in the police station. Police is interrogating with the employees of the company. About being suspicious of anybody, Jain clarified that it is difficult to specify anybody, as the incident does not give a clear picture of who could be involved.
"It cannot be our employees because they have been with us for the last 10-12 years and no other costlier items has been touched. It seems that the involved gang deal only with the
laptops," he said. Swarn Singh, Joint Secretary, All Delhi Computers Traders Association (ADCTA) informed that the association is giving all possible support to RJ Computers.
