Yogeshwar noticed the money missing later and approached the police a little after midnight. Special teams were formed by the Keesara police and Naresh was detained based on suspicion.
On interrogation, he admitted to stealing the money, police said. Naresh was arrested and produced before court, after which he was remanded.
