“During scanning of the CCTV footage, a suspected person was seen breaking open into the house and later leaving in a white Santro car with burgled property. The car was found registered in the name of Rashid, who is a neighbour of the burgled house,” said the official.

“Rashid, the former employee of Delhi Civil Defense was apprehended and interrogated. Initially he tried to mislead the police team but on sustained interrogation he confessed to his involvement in the burglary,” said the official.

“On his instance, cash of Rs 50,000, the burgled money was recovered from his Santro Car. On further interrogation, he revealed the names of Dilshad and Nand Kishore,” said the official.

“On interrogation, the accused revealed that Rashid noticed that his adjacent house was locked for some time. He was aware of the availability of cash and jewellery in his neighbour’s house, so he hatched a plan and roped-in Dilshad,” said Singh.

“After robbing the house, on the intervening night of October 29-30 , they contacted Nand Kishore who had earlier been working as a goldsmith and was in touch with others dealing in gold articles,” said Singh.
