The Delhi Police announced the resolution of seven burglary and house theft cases in South Delhi’s Mehrauli area by apprehending three suspects – a brother, his sister, and his wife. Through thorough CCTV analysis and technical surveillance, the police recovered a substantial amount of stolen property linked to the crimes. The investigation was initiated following the registration of an e-FIR on March 16, unveiling a pattern of daytime burglaries targeting locked houses over the past few months.
A specialized team, led by Sub Inspector Amit Kaushik and others, scrutinized footage from numerous CCTV cameras, ultimately identifying the main suspect, Karamveer (30). Acting on specific information, the police arrested Karamveer on March 18, leading to the subsequent detention of his sister, Palak (25), and wife, Radhika alias Radha (21). The trio operated as a coordinated family unit, with each member assigned specific roles in carrying out burglaries and handling stolen goods. Karamveer was responsible for executing the thefts, while Palak facilitated the disposal of stolen jewelry in Uttar Pradesh, and Radhika managed the stolen items.
During the operation, the police seized various items, including jewelry sale receipts valued at Rs 5.2 lakh, Rs one lakh in a bank account, electronic gadgets, branded clothing, and personal documents. This successful operation underscores the effective utilization of technology and swift police intervention in dismantling a burglary network. In a separate incident on March 21, a 22-year-old chef working night shifts at a five-star hotel was arrested for a burglary in RK Puram, southwest Delhi, where he used a master key to steal cash and jewelry worth Rs 2.69 lakh.
