Delhi maid arrested after stealing jewelry to buy DSLR camera for reels

Delhi maid or house helper, Neetu Yadav, 30-year-old arrested after stealing jewelry to buy a DSLR camera for making reels. Delhi police arrested Neetu on July 21, 2024, after she stole silver and gold jewelry valued at lakhs of rupees.

Neetu expressed her desire to get a Nikon DSLR camera to record videos for her YouTube channel. She is currently in the Dwarka District Anti Bulgarly Cell of Delhi Police.

Police also recovered stolen jewelry from Neetu. This arrest came when a property owner in a wealthy bungalow in Dwarka reported to police that someone had broken into his house on July 15, 2024.

The bungalow owner said the thief had stolen silver jewelry, a silver chain, and a gold bracelet from his home. Moreover, he informed the police that a domestic helper who had started working there a few days before the theft might have been the thief.

Following the complaitant’s suspicion, Dwarka police called Neetu but her cell phone went off. Police also found her address was fake. However, they tracked her through CCTV footage and spoke with local people.

When maid Neetu tried to escape Delhi while carrying a bag, police arrested her. She revealed during interrogation she is a resident of Rajasthan. Her spouse suffered from a drug addiction and used to abuse her.

She arrived in Delhi and started working as a domestic helper in bungalows to get rid of her husband’s abuse. She quickly set up a YouTube account and started uploading Instagram reels.

Meanwhile, someone advised her to make videos with a DSLR camera and then upload her reels on social media. Following this advice, she approached her relatives for a loan to buy a DSLR camera but they all refused.

Hence, she planned to steal valuable jewelry worth millions of rupees as she was employed at the Dwarka bungalow to get money for a DSLR camera.
