Daring Theft at Wedding Reception in Jaipur; Bride Loses Cash and Jewellery Worth ₹4 Lakh

Jaipur: In a brazen incident that unfolded during a wedding celebration in Rajasthan’s capital, cash and gold ornaments belonging to the bride were stolen at a convention venue in Jaipur.

The theft occurred on February 7 at the ‘Chandan Van’ Convention Centre in the Jagatpura area, where a wedding reception was underway. According to reports, approximately ₹4 lakh in cash along with valuable jewellery was taken from the bride’s belongings in what authorities describe as a meticulously executed act.

Posed as Guest, Stole Bag from Stage

Police said the accused arrived at the venue dressed in a formal suit, blending seamlessly with other guests. CCTV footage shows the man walking onto the stage while the bride and groom were seated for the reception ceremony. Approaching from behind, he discreetly lifted a bag containing the cash and ornaments.

The suspect then concealed the bag inside his blazer and calmly walked away from the stage without arousing suspicion. The entire sequence was captured on the venue’s surveillance cameras.

Police Suspect Professional Theft Gang

Jaipur police have registered a case and launched an investigation. Preliminary findings suggest the involvement of a professional theft syndicate operating across northern India, specifically targeting wedding functions and large gatherings.

Officials noted that members of such gangs typically wear expensive attire to avoid detection and blend in with invitees. Authorities are currently analysing CCTV footage and intensifying efforts to identify and apprehend the suspect.

The incident has once again raised concerns about security arrangements at large-scale social functions, particularly weddings, which are increasingly being targeted by organised theft groups.
