The woman identified as Ruchika Gangwal, resident of flat number 403 in Yash Elite building on Yeshwant Niwas Road, told police that she had called an electrician to get the invertor installed in her bedroom.

He worked in the room for over 30 minutes while I was sitting in the living room,” said Gangwal while giving her statement to Tukoganj police.

She added that the almirah was locked and she did not pay attention as she trusted the man. After a few days when Ruchika was going through her jewellery boxes, she found that her diamond and gold bracelets and bangles were missing from them.
