The Delhi Police have arrested a domestic help and her alleged accomplice in connection with a theft at a residence in Krishna Nagar, recovering two diamond rings and a portion of the stolen cash, officials said on Sunday.

According to a press release, an e-FIR was registered at Krishna Nagar Police Station on June 25 under Section 305(A) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) following a complaint by Sachin Gupta, a resident of the area. The complainant stated that unknown persons had stolen valuables from an almirah at his residence on June 22 during the daytime. The stolen items included two diamond rings, a pair of gold jhumkas, and cash amounting to Rs 15,800.

Given the seriousness of the offence, the investigation was assigned to Head Constable Neeraj, with a special team constituted under the leadership of Inspector Vijender Rana, Station House Officer of Krishna Nagar Police Station.

Suspicion soon fell on Monika, a domestic help who had been present at the house on the day of the incident. Police said sustained inquiry and technical investigation revealed that she had allegedly conspired with her associate, Vineet, to commit the theft.

Acting on technical inputs, the team traced Vineet to Taharpur Bhabisa village in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district. He was apprehended after a raid and sustained surveillance. During interrogation, Vineet allegedly disclosed Monika's involvement, leading to her arrest as well.
