Clue in pistol theft case

New Delhi July 16. Almost three weeks after the disappearance of a pistol handed over by Pakistani troops during the 1971 surrender from the National Museum here, the Delhi police seems to have got a crucial clue from the close-circuit TV recording.

The TV footage, watched by officials of the police and the Navy, allegedly showed a woman removing the screws of the small glass case in which the revolver had been kept. The woman's face, however, was not visible.
