A 23-year-old domestic help was arrested for allegedly stealing gold and diamond jewellery from her employer’s residence in northwest Delhi, with the entire stolen property recovered, police said on Wednesday.
The accused, Arti Chauhan, a resident of Kabir Nagar, was found to be a first-time offender, they said.
According to police, the incident was reported on April 27 when a PCR call was received regarding theft of valuables from the house of Urmila Jain (75) in Rana Pratap Bagh.
Based on Jain’s complaint, a case was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and an investigation was initiated.
“During the probe, suspicion fell on the domestic help who had access to the house. Sustained interrogation led to her confession,” a senior police officer said.
