New Delhi: Delhi Police have arrested a woman for allegedly stealing Rs 1.93 lakh aboard a metro train.
The accused has been identified as Pooja (35), a resident of Bakkarwala village, Nangloi in Delhi. The incident took place when the complainant Harish Chand, a resident of Moti Nagar, was heading towards Chandni Chowk by the metro to make a payment of Rs 1,93,580 on behalf of his office to a client at Bhagirath Palace.
"Chand had kept the money in a plastic box inside a bag. When he was about to reach Chandni Chowk metro station, he heard the box opening.
"When Chand checked the bag, the box was found open and the amount stolen. He suspected the accused, who was standing behind him in the train, of having stolen the money.
"Chand did not alight at Chandni Chowk and took her to Kashmere Gate Metro police where she was frisked by a lady constable and the amount was recovered," a statement released by the police said.
During interrogation, Pooja disclosed she targeted the complainant as she could sense he was carrying a hefty amount of money with him.
"The accused operates alone. She is suspected to be involved in similar crimes in the metro at other occasions also," the statement said.
