A laptop of a chief judicial magistrate was allegedly stolen on Thursday from her car parked on the Madras high court campus, a high-security area.

The incident has officials worried.

The high court is under the security cover of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the city police. Security personnel do not allow any person on to the high court campus without identity proof.

On Thursday, police said Tiruvallur district chief judicial magistrate M Shirijha had come to the court in connection with some official work.

Her driver Manmadhan, 42, parked the car in the designated area and went to have tea. After an hour, when the judicial officer returned to the car she found that the laptop kept on the rear seat was missing. After searching for the same in the car, she questioned the driver. However, Manmadhan appeared to be clueless about the missing device and joined her in the search.

Other drivers present at the spot said that they did not notice any suspicious activity near the car.

Following that Shirijha lodged a complaint with the high court police who collected footage from a few CCTV cameras on the premises and are examining them.

The records that the CISF personnel maintained about the visitors are also being checked.
