Rs 30 lakh Heist at Delhi doctor's home: Law student, 2 others arrested

Police said Shilpi’s hiring was part of a pre-planned crime organised by Rajni, a 27-year-old law student. Rajni had conspired with Shilpi and another woman, 25-year-old Neha Samalty, to execute the theft.

According to a TOI report, Shilpi had prior experience working as a maid, which helped in executing the plan. The group began searching for maid jobs online, and Rajni was the one who created the fake identity documents for Shilpi.

To nab and identify the accused, the police reviewed the CCTV footage and conducted technical surveillance to trace Shilpi and Rajni to Meerut. Following this, a raid was conducted, leading to their arrest. 

Shilpi was found with Rs 10.07 lakh in cash, an empty mobile phone box and mobile accessories, while Rajni was caught with Rs 12.5 lakh and the stolen mobile phone.

"Rajni, who is currently studying law, planned the entire crime with Shilpi and another accomplice, Neha Samalty, who was later arrested from Saharanpur," an officer told PTI.

Both confessed to their involvement in the theft and disclosed Neha's name. They said that a portion of the stolen amount was given to her. Based on their interrogation, Neha was later arrested in Saharanpur, and police recovered Rs 50,000 and a mobile phone used in the crime from her.

Preliminary investigation suggests this was the first time all three women were involved in a crime. Investigators believe they were lured by the idea of making quick money.

A case has been registered under Section 306 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with theft by a servant. Police are continuing their investigation to verify if the accused was involved in any other similar cases.
