In a shocking case of theft, a domestic worker was arrested in West Delhi's Punjabi Bagh area for allegedly stealing ₹40 lakh in cash from his employer's house. The accused, Dhruv, had been hired just 15 days prior to the theft. According to officials, Dhruv was supposed to take care of his employer's father but had other plans. A complaint was filed on November 29, and an FIR was registered the next day. During the investigation, police analyzed CCTV footage from the house and surrounding areas. Initial footage showed Dhruv leaving the house empty-handed, but further scrutiny revealed that he was later seen roaming with his associates, Jatin and Shivam. Police said that the trio switched off their mobile phones after the incident and evaded detection for a while. However, technical surveillance and call detail record analysis eventually led to their location in Jammu and Kashmir. Dhruv and Jatin surrendered before a court, while Shivam was traced to a hotel in Himachal Pradesh. A search led to the recovery of ₹36.05 lakh in cash, besides branded shoes and clothes allegedly purchased from the stolen money. The accused was produced before the court and remanded to judicial custody. Further investigation is underway to recover the remaining amount and ascertain any additional involvement, police added.
