Pavitra Kumari (25), who was arrested in connection with the theft of Rs 14 lakh from the Karma Auto park petrol pump in Chicalim, was on Tuesday admitted to the Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (IPHB) at Bambolim.
According to Vasco Police Inspector Nolasco Raposo, Kumari started behaving unusually since Monday evening.
“She was displaying hysterical behaviour since Monday evening. When she was taken to the Chicalim Cottage Hospital for a medical examination to lodge her in police lockup, the doctor declared her unfit to place her in a lockup and recommended her admission to IPHB. Accordingly, she was taken to the Goa Medical College hospital on Tuesday morning and later admitted to IPHB,” said Raposo.
It may be recalled, Kumari, a native of Nepal but residing at Adarshnagar-Chicalim, was employed as a sweeper in Karma Auto Park since the last six months. She had been arrested by Vasco police on charges of stealing around Rs 14 lakh in cash from a drawer in the petrol pump.
