NEW DELHI, July 16 -- A domestic worker, Zarina Begum, has been arrested for allegedly stealing gold, silver, and cash from the home of retired Colonel P S Kamal in Madhu Vihar. She used the proceeds to buy an iPhone, a two-wheeler, and a gold ring. Police also arrested jeweller Ayush Soni, who purchased the stolen items at a low price, melted some, and remodelled them for resale.
A total of 150g of gold, a gold ring, iPhone, scooter, and Rs 1.2 lakh in cash were recovered. The theft was driven by Zarina's desire
for a lavish lifestyle.
Neither accused had a prior criminal record. Further investigation is underway.
