Tirupur: The rural police arrested a police constable attached to the Avinashipalayam police station on Monday for stealing a motorcycle.
The arrested cop has been identified as Rajeshkumar, 32. “He failed to turn up for work from July 26 to July 31. On Saturday around 6.30pm, Rajeshkumar, who was wearing police uniform, and two civilians, conducted a vehicle check in front of a Tasmac outlet in Palladam.
