She had a plan of entering her own house wearing a burqa and leaving the premises without leaving any trace. The case came to light on January 30 when a woman lodged a complaint of a case of day light theft that took place at her residence in Sevak Park, Uttam Nagar, Delhi, in which all her jewellery and 25,000 cash was stolen from her house.

Accordingly, the police registered an FIR and began probing the matter. "A police team analyzed the scene of crime and found that there was no forced entry into the house and that the lock of the main door was not broken," DCP (Dwarka) Ankit Singh said.
