Delhi Police arrested Sona alias K. Sonia, a 45-year-old woman from Rohini, for allegedly posing as domestic help to commit thefts in residential areas. The case emerged after Vijay Pal Gupta reported the theft of gold jewellery and cash from his home on April 19. The accused had been hired just two days prior and reportedly stole valuables during a prayer ritual while the family was present. Investigations revealed that Sonia had a history of similar crimes, with one notable incident involving a theft of gold worth approximately ₹1.5 crore in 2025. Police traced her using technical surveillance and CCTV footage, leading to her arrest while she was hiding under a quilt at her residence, despite the presence of aggressive dogs. Authorities recovered about ₹1 lakh in cash and identified nearly 2 kilograms of gold linked to various loan accounts. Officials have urged residents to conduct proper verification of domestic help to prevent such incidents in the future.
