New Delhi, December 31 (IANS) In a bizzare case, a 23-year-old Delhi University graduate who wanted to impress his girlfriend has been arrested for stealing a car his father had sold, police said Friday.
According to police, accused Gaurav Arora, stole the car his father had sold to another person. He was arrested from Vasant Vihar in south Delhi on Dec 25.
