New Delhi [India], October 7 (ANI): The Delhi Police West District team has solved a house theft case by arresting four accused persons and recovering 156 grams of gold worth approximately Rs 20 lakh and Rs 9.96 lakh in cash, officials said.
According to the Delhi Police, on September 26, a PCR call regarding a house theft was received at Police Station Punjabi Bagh. The complainant reported that when his wife checked the almirah at home, several gold and diamond ornaments were found missing. Accordingly, a case vide FIR No. 581/25 was registered at PS Punjabi Bagh under Section 305 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
During the investigation, the police team meticulously scanned footage from around 1,260 CCTV cameras over the course of a week.
