A man is caught on camera stealing plants from the Delhi–Dehradun Expressway, according to reports shared online. The footage shows a person in a vehicle bearing a “police” sticker taking plants from the roadside.

The incident is reported to have taken place in Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh. Multiple outlets say the video is circulating on social media and that police are examining it. Times of India reports that no complaint has been filed yet and that officials are verifying the authenticity of the footage before proceeding. The same report notes that the case follows an earlier theft in which nearly 7,000 potted plants were reportedly stolen after a horticulture event.

While the outlets agree on the core facts—plant theft on the expressway and a vehicle marked “police”—they differ mainly in emphasis. Some focus on the viral nature of the CCTV footage, while others highlight ongoing verification and the broader context of previous plant thefts in the area.
