The Delhi Police arrested a 19-year-old man from Balasore, Odisha, for allegedly stealing jewellery and cash worth around Rs 1.9 crore from a house in the Greater Kailash area.
With the arrest of Sanjay Kumar Malik, the police said they busted an Odisha-based gang of thieves who allegedly posed as domestic help and carried out burglaries at their employers' houses.
On October 14 last year, the police received information about a theft at a house in Greater Kailash-II where a woman informed them that jewellery and Rs 1.30 crore in cash had been stolen from her house after the almirah was broken into. Her servant, Shakti Pati, was also missing, a senior police officer said.
During the investigation, the police reviewed CCTV footage and found that the servant, along with three other accused including Malik, had committed the burglary.
