New Delhi:
A 28-year-old woman was arrested here for allegedly stealing her mother-in-law's jewellery worth about Rs 30 lakh to repay the loan she took for the treatment of her first husband, police said on Sunday.
Five of her relatives, including mother and brother, were also arrested for allegedly helping her in the crime, Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Sharad Aggarwal said.
The arrested have been identified as Meetu Talwar, her mother Parvinder Kaur (45), brother Kamal Singh (24), aunt Jagminder Kaur (42), uncle Sukhbir Singh (55) and a relative Maher Singh (50).
"Meetu told us she had taken a large sum of money on interest for the treatment of her first husband Narender which she could not pay back. It was due to the pressure of repayment of loan that Meetu decided to decamp with gold jewellery," Aggarwal said.
