An Indian storekeeper was given a jail sentence of three years for stealing four iron tanks from his place of work, local Arabic daily Arrayah reported.
A Doha Criminal Court also ordered his subsequent deportation. The value of four stolen tanks were estimated to be QR60,000. Three Nepali men were acquitted by the court from the charges of being accomplices to the defendant.
The tanks were used for petroleum products storage. The court established the guilt of the man based on the investigations and the testimony of his colleagues that he sold the tanks as if they were his own property. The other accused were acquitted for the lack of any solid evidence against them.
