New Delhi [India], Sept 29 (ANI): A notorious burglar and his receiver of stolen articled were arrested from Seelampur here and stolen diamond jewellery worth more than 10 lakh rupees was recovered from their possession, police said in a statement on Sunday.
The two persons identified as burglar Mohd Akram (40) and a receiver of stolen articles Sheikh Khalid Mahmood (41) were arrested after the police laid a trap for them in the area.
