When security guards of a media organisation in film city deflated a man's car's tyres, the man who felt outraged stole a policeman's uniform from a nearby police chowki and barged into their office to threaten the security in-charge and other senior level officers on Monday morning. The man was arrested and sent to jail.

According to the police, the accused has been identified as Laxman (31), who runs a food outlet in Delhi, and allegedly stole a chowki in-charge's uniform, and then barged into India Today office.

"The incident took place at around 7 am when Laxman reached film city and tried to drive out his car, which he had parked outside the office of a news channel on Thursday. Suspecting him of stealing
the car, the guards deflated the tyres," said Anil Kumar Shai, Station House Officer, Sector- 20 Police Station.

Later, the man started arguing with the guards and threatened to inform the police. However, after some time Laxman said he will himself go to the police to inform them about the incident.

"As he reached the film city chowki, he found a room vacant where a police uniform was hung.

However, the guards identified him and handed him over to the police," Shai added.
