Valmiki Ramayana Ayodhya Kanda Sarga 100 Shloka 57

नरर्षभ O best among men, काले at the time of committing theft, दृष्टः who has been caught redhanded, गृहीतश्चैव one who is arrested, पृष्टश्च one who has been interrogated, सकारणः one who has sufficient evidence, चोरः thief, धनलोभात् out of greed for money, न मुच्यते कच्चित् I hope is not set free.

O best among men I trust that a thief, caught redhanded and interrogated and has sufficient proof is not set free, out of greed for money.
