House help, 2 others steal valuables worth ₹3cr from Gurugram house; booked
A senior police officer said that about ₹55 lakh cash, diamond, platinum and gold jewellery worth about ₹2.5 crore
Three people have been booked for fleeing with cash and jewellery worth ₹3 crore from a businessman’s bungalow in Sector 4, police said on Sunday.
According to police, the theft came to light when the businessman’s wife woke up on Friday to find all lockers and almirahs in the house were broken and the valuables were missing. Police said Naresh Kumar Agarwal deals with manufacturing and supply of ply boards in Delhi-NCR.
The accused include their house help and her two associates. At the time of the incident on Thursday, the woman -- suffering from cancer -- was at home with the house help while the remaining family had gone to Jaipur to attend a wedding. The house help, a native of Nepal and the prime accused in this case, was hired just two weeks back to take care of the patient. Taking advantage of the situation, she mixed sedatives in the woman’s food to make her unconscious. Police said no police verification was conducted before hiring her.
A senior police officer said that about ₹55 lakh cash, diamond, platinum and gold jewellery worth about ₹2.5 crore and other valuables were stolen from the lockers and cupboards. The thieves then filled the stolen valuables in four bags before fleeing the spot.
