BSc student, 18, held for stealing bag with Rs 20-lakh valuables at Delhi Metro station
New Delhi (PTI): An 18-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly stealing a bag containing jewellery and other valuables worth about Rs 20 lakh, an official said on Saturday.
The accused was identified as Hina, a first-year B.Sc student.
They said a case was registered at Police Station Kashmere Gate Metro on January 22, following a complaint regarding the theft of a bag containing gold jewellery and other articles.
During the investigation, police examined CCTV footage from Chandni Chowk Metro Station and noticed a young woman wearing a pink jacket and black pants taking possession of the bag and boarding a metro train towards Millennium City Centre, police said.
Further analysis of internal CCTV cameras at Barakhamba Metro Station showed that the same woman travelled onwards and later exited from Gate No. 2 of Noida Sector-52 Metro Station, they added.
Based on technical and manual intelligence, the suspect was traced and apprehended.
During interrogation, Hina told police that she had come to Chandni Chowk market with her family for shopping related to her cousin's marriage. While passing through baggage scanning at the metro station, she allegedly picked up an extra bag belonging to the complainant and carried it home, they said.
Police said she failed to provide a satisfactory explanation as to why she did not inform authorities about the bag.
The bag was recovered intact, resulting in the full recovery of gold ornaments and other articles. The accused has no previous criminal record, police said.
Appropriate legal action has been initiated under relevant provisions of law, they added.

Cristiano Ronaldo scores his 100th Saudi Pro League goal
Riyadh (AP): Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al-Nassr beat Al-Shabab 4-2 to move five points clear at the top of the table.
The 41-year-old forward converted a Sadio Mané cross at the near post with 15 minutes remaining to record the 971st goal of his career on Thursday. It was also his 26th league goal of the season.
“Ronaldo is always dangerous going forward and we saw that again today,” Al-Nassr coach Jorge Jesus said.
João Félix, signed from Chelsea in July, scored three goals for the league leaders.
The win took Al-Nassr to 82 points from 32 games, five ahead of Al-Hilal, which has three matches, one more than Nassr, left to play. Al-Hilal meets Al-Kholood on Friday and faces Nassr on Tuesday in what could be a title decider against its Riyadh rival.
“Now we have a derby match against our rival, which is a difficult encounter,” Jesus said.
“We are fully aware of its importance, and we are dealing with it with complete focus as we know that small details could decide the result.”
Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d'Or winner, has yet to secure a major trophy in Saudi Arabia since signing with Al-Nassr in December 2022.
