A 36-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly stealing a gold mangalsutra from a devotee at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in New Delhi, police said on Thursday.
According to the police, the stolen ornament has been recovered from the possession of the accused, identified as Vaishnavi Chavan Chauhan, a resident of Maharashtra’s Nandurbar district.
On Wednesday, a woman from Uttam Nagar lodged a complaint alleging that her gold mangalsutra had been stolen a day earlier while she was visiting the Gurdwara Bangla Sahib with her family.
The complainant told Delhi police that the theft took place inside the ladies’ bathing area (Snanghar) of the gurdwara, where an unidentified woman allegedly stole the ornament.
A case was registered and an investigation was launched.
During the investigation, police received a tip-off regarding the accused’s presence inside the gurdwara premises. Acting on the information, the team traced and detained her.
“During her search, conducted in the presence of women police personnel, the stolen gold mangalsutra was recovered from her possession,” the officer said.
The complainant identified the recovered ornament as her stolen property, following which the accused was formally arrested, police said.
