KARIMNAGAR: An unidentified person stole the transferred Karimnagar district collector’s Dell laptop, digital key, a pen drive, a brown coloured bag and several passport-size photos on October 30 between 12.10 am and 12.35 am at his camp office. The incident, which was recorded on CCTV cameras, came to light after the officer on special duty (OSD) filed a complaint at the One Town police station on Wednesday.
