A 43-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly stealing valuables worth Rs 30 lakh from his girlfriend's house after she refused to lend him money, a police official said on Tuesday.
Accused Arrested and Stolen Jewellery Recovered
Police recovered stolen gold and silver jewellery of approximately Rs 27 lakh from the accused, identified as Mazhar Ahmed Ramzan Ali Ansari, a resident of suburban Ghatkopar.
The complainant, who is originally from Kolkata, and Ansari had been in a relationship for several years.
Details of the Theft and Investigation
"Recently, the woman found that her house was ransacked when she had gone to the office, and a bag containing Rs 3.5 lakh in cash, along with gold and silver jewellery, was missing," police said.
The woman lodged a complaint against an unidentified person for burgling her house at the Sakinaka police station.
"During the probe, suspicion fell on Ansari as he was aware of the valuables. When questioned about his whereabouts on the day of the crime, Ansari claimed he was in Ajmer. Call records initially supported his claim, but inconsistencies in his statements raised suspicion," a police officer said.
His interrogation revealed that he used a spare key of the woman's flat to commit the crime. Ansari was produced before a court, which remanded him to police custody.
Further investigation is underway, the official said.
