Asked if there were any security lapses, CP Barah said that crime cannot be predicted and that even if the car was stolen, it was the duty of the driver to keep an eye on it.
He said that if the driver was away from the car, then people would have found it hard to predict that the car was being stolen since no one knew whose car that was.
