A daring daylight theft in Punjabi Bagh unraveled dramatically as Delhi Police collared Lakshmi, 18, a maid who allegedly swiped Rs 5,63,000 in cash from her employer’s home. Authorities reclaimed Rs 2,66,600, probing deeper into the missing portion.
January 15 brought the alert to PCR, prompting an immediate response. The statement was logged, FIR filed on the 16th, and a full-scale inquiry ensued.
Facing theft spikes, a elite unit under Inspector Sanjay Dahiya (SHO Punjabi Bagh), featuring HC Mukesh, operated with directives from ACP Shivam and DCP Sharad Bhaskar Darade of West District.
The puzzle solved via exhaustive CCTV review—over 25 cameras—and sharp local intel, identifying Lakshmi. Traced and arrested, she yielded part of the stolen money, legally impounded.
No previous brushes with the law for the young woman, yet her actions betrayed trust. Interrogations seek accomplices, ensuring comprehensive closure.
This resolution exemplifies rapid policing amid urban challenges, restoring faith in security while advancing legal recourse for the aggrieved family.
