Thane Police Arrest Woman for Robbing Sister of Rs 24.42 Lakh

Thane, Sep 5 (PTI) - In a swift operation, police arrested a 29-year-old woman within eight hours for allegedly stealing valuables worth Rs 24.42 lakh from her sister's residence in Maharashtra's Thane district. Officials reported the arrest on Friday. The accused, a Navi Mumbai resident, was linked to a burglary that took place at a house in Mumbra on August 31, according to police authorities. The incident unfolded when the complainant left her home to visit her mother. Upon her return, she discovered that gold jewelry and cash valued at Rs 24.42 lakh had been stolen. Senior Inspector Anil Shinde from the Mumbra police station stated that the crime was supposedly committed using a duplicate key, as there were no indications of forced entry. Given these circumstances, investigators suspected someone familiar to the complainant might be involved. Authorities employed technical evidence, mobile analysis, and CCTV reviews to narrow down the suspect within a matter of hours. Initially, the accused misled the investigators, but eventually confessed her culpability.
