Mumbai Domestic Help Arrested for Theft of Antique Jewellery and Coins
Mumbai police arrested Rahul Kumar Shafi, a 26-year-old domestic help, at the airport for allegedly stealing over 120-year-old family heirlooms, including gold jewellery and British-era coins worth 46.8 lakh, from his employer's home in Andheri West. The theft was discovered when a gold bangle fell from Shafi's pocket, prompting the family to check their valuables. After an FIR was filed, police tracked and apprehended him before he could board a flight to Bihar. Most stolen items were recovered, with some sent earlier to his native village.
