A 30-year-old domestic help, identified as Yuvraj Thapa, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly stealing jewellery and cash from the residence of BJP leader Mamta Bharadwaj in Sector-39’s Orchid Villa.
The theft occurred around 8 a.m. while Bharadwaj and her husband were out for a morning walk. A complaint was promptly filed at the Sector 50 police station, prompting immediate action by Gurgaon Police.
Thapa, a native of Budiganga, Bajura district in Nepal, was apprehended at Delhi’s Anand Vihar railway station by a police team led by Inspector Narendra Sharma of the Crime Branch, Sector-43. The team included ASI Satbir and constables Rohit, Priyank, Ajit, and Yogendra.
Police recovered:
2 gold necklaces
1 gold chain
1 gold ring
1 gold and diamond bracelet
Thapa had joined the Bharadwaj household just seven days before the theft. During interrogation, he admitted to planning the crime after noticing valuables at the home.
