SHAMLI: Deepak Sharma, the owner of a liquor shop in Shamli, was confused and depressed. Money was disappearing from his shop and there was no trace of the thief. In the last couple of months, he had sacked a number of employees, but the problem continued. On Tuesday morning, he saw a piece of cloth stuck in a narrow hole on the floor tile. He tugged at it and suddenly there was the "thief".
The tile came off to reveal a huge rat hole with over Rs 11,400 in cash stuffed in it. A few of the notes had been nibbled at the edges, but the rest were intact.
