In a high-intensity operation in Delhi’s Shalimar Bagh, police apprehended a woman accused in a theft case after she allegedly attempted to evade arrest by turning her residence into a heavily guarded stronghold, deploying multiple aggressive dogs to deter entry.
According to police officials, the premises resembled a “fortress,” with several dog breeds—including a Pitbull and an American Bully—positioned to block access. The presence of these animals posed a significant challenge, preventing officers from approaching the house safely. Despite the risk, the police team proceeded with the operation and eventually secured entry.
Complaint and Investigation
The case originated from a complaint filed on April 19 by Vijay Pal Gupta, who alleged that his domestic worker had stolen gold jewellery and cash from his residence.
Following the complaint, investigators relied on CCTV footage and technical surveillance to track down the suspect’s whereabouts, ultimately leading them to the Shalimar Bagh residence.
Stolen Gold Used for Loans
During interrogation, police discovered that the accused had allegedly pledged the stolen jewellery as collateral to secure loans from multiple gold loan companies. Authorities have so far identified at least 15 such loan accounts.
Investigators have frozen the accused’s bank account and are coordinating with financial institutions to trace and recover the pledged assets. Preliminary findings indicate that approximately 2 kilograms of gold jewellery linked to the case is currently held by various finance companies.
Arrest and Recovery
Upon entering the house, officers reportedly found the accused hiding under a quilt in an attempt to evade detection. She was taken into custody at the scene.
Based on information provided during questioning, police recovered ₹1 lakh in cash from the premises.
Previous Criminal Record
Police officials stated that the woman has a prior criminal record, including involvement in theft and robbery cases. Records also indicate that a case had been registered against her as early as 2008.
Authorities are continuing their investigation in coordination with banks and financial agencies to recover the remaining stolen property and determine whether a larger network may be involved.
