The accused, identified as Ganesh Gharti Magar, a native of Nepal, was apprehended near ISBT Kashmiri Gate on Thursday night following a tip-off, he said.
According to police, their informer alerted Crime Branch personnel that the accused, who had been hiding in Delhi for two days, planned to board a bus to Nepal from Kashmiri Gate.
A team reached the spot where the suspect was apprehended. During interrogation, Magar, who worked as a cook and domestic helper in Noida, confessed to stealing a blue bag containing cash and jewellery from his employer’s residence on November 10.
