Man puts self in other's shoes, held
Surat: Sarthana police detained a man who allegedly stole a pair of shoes from outside a shop in Simada Naka. According to police, the accused wanted these shoes because he had fractured his leg. On April 29, the accused allegedly took off his slippers and put on the pair of Sketchers shoes, worth Rs 7,999, belonging to the complainant.
Sarthana police have booked the accused under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Sections 303 (2) and 54 and started an investigation.
According to the complaint, Hitesh Kathiriya owns a shop at Dhanlaxmi Society near Simada Naka.

On checking security camera footage, he saw a man wear them and walk away leaving his own footwear outside the shop.
Kathiriya then went to Sarthana police and filed a complaint on Thursday.
