New Delhi, July 19 || In a breakthrough, the South West District Police have arrested a 19-year-old interstate burglar involved in a sensational house burglary case.
The accused, identified as Sachin, a resident of Amba village in Khargaon district, Madhya Pradesh, was apprehended by a dedicated team from PS Sagarpur. With his arrest, the police successfully recovered 186 grams of stolen gold jewellery.
The case was initially registered on May 23, 2025, at PS Sagarpur, after a local resident, Amit Gupta, reported a burglary at his residence.
According to the complaint, around 500 grams of gold and Rs 20,000 in cash were stolen when two men posing as lock repairmen gained entry into the house under pretences. While the complainant and his wife were away at a nearby market, his mother was alone at home and allowed the men in. Taking advantage of the situation, the accused distracted her, accessed the almirah, and fled with the valuables.
Under SHO PS Sagarpur and supervision of the ACP, Delhi Cantt Sub-Division, a team comprising SI Kapil Yadav, PSI Mukesh, Constables Anil, Rahul, and Lalit was formed.
