The Story in Brief
Adipur Police have arrested two Nepali women accused of helping an interstate burglary gang target homes in Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka. Police said six thefts involved property worth more than Rs 1 crore, while three other suspects remain absconding.
East Kutch Police identified the accused as Salina Shahi, 26, and Ravina Virendra alias Vivek Shahi, 28. Investigators allege they worked as domestic workers, studied residents’ routines and alerted accomplices when homes were empty. Police recovered a gold ring, two mobile phones and Rs 1,85,790 in cash. The investigation continues, including efforts to trace the remaining suspects and establish the network’s full scope.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narrative is that domestic workers as a group pose a security threat, but this case concerns two specific accused women and police allegations that still require proof in court. The opposite claim, that the arrests alone have solved a Rs 1 crore racket, is also premature while three suspects remain free and the alleged six thefts are still being investigated. The useful test is whether police recover more stolen property and secure evidence linking each accused to every burglary.
