Gaurank (25), the driver, was caught within 48 hours of the incident and Rs 45,500 in cash were recovered from his possession, they said.

“On October 22, a PCR call was received about a theft at a house in Mayur Vihar. The complainant, Rajesh Kumar Sinha, reported that Rs 1 lakh in cash and gold jewellery, including four bangles, two chains, and four pairs of earrings were stolen from his almirah,” a senior police officer said.
