Incident Details: A shocking incident took place on June 27, 2025 in Delhi’s Model Town, when a woman named Anita Jhunjhunwala filed a complaint at the local police station that her domestic help Arun Kumar had absconded with Rs 55 lakh in cash and valuable gold, diamond, and silver ornaments. Considering the seriousness of the complaint, the Delhi Police immediately registered a case under sections 306, 317(2), and 3(5) of the Indian Penal Code and started an investigation. The police reviewed the footage of the CCTV cameras of the house, in which Arun Kumar was seen leaving the house with a person carrying a bag and a trolley. The police then located the accused, who was pointing towards a forest near Borhi Ghat village in Bihar’s Banka district. Arrest and recovery: On July 10, 2025, the police launched a field investigation in Banka district and arrested three accused—Vivek Kumar (22 years), Birendra Yadav (22 years), and Piyush Kumar Kapri (29 years). According to the police, when the team reached there, the accused were dividing the stolen goods among themselves. During interrogation, the three confessed to their crime. The police recovered gold and Diamond jewellery, bangles, rings, a gold biscuit, a silver chain, over 40 silver utensils, a large amount of cash, and other valuables were seized. Deputy Commissioner of Police (North West) Bhisham Singh said: “Arun Kumar had planned the theft along with five of his village associates. After the theft, Birendra Yadav handed over the cash and jewellery to Dilip Yadav, who gave Rs 5 lakh to Rajesh Yadav and the rest to Maltani Yadav.” Theft network: Investigation revealed that Maltani Yadav gave the goods to Kashto Yadav of Barsangaon, who transferred it to Pawan Yadav. Pawan took the stolen goods to Sandeep Yadav of Radha Nagar, who kept some of it. After this, Naveen Yadav also took Rs 5 lakh from Sandeep. DCP Bhisham Singh said: “All these accused were never involved in any crime before. "They committed this theft in the hope of getting rich quick." Ongoing investigation: Police are still searching for the remaining associates of Arun Kumar and are conducting raids at various locations. The bank accounts and transactions of the accused are also being thoroughly examined to establish the identity of the accused in this network. Other work connections can be traced.
