Mangaluru, Aug 23: Mohammed Shiban, an employee of a mobile store at Bunts Hostel in the city, has allegedly stolen seven mobile phones worth Rs 2.36 lac and Rs 58,100 in cash from the shop's drawer.

Sandesh Shetty, the manager of the mobile shop at Janvi Plaza, had entrusted the store's full responsibility to Mohammed Shiban as Sandesh was going on leave. However, due to Shiban's mismanagement, Sandesh cut his leave short and returned early, only to find the shop closed.
