GHAZIABAD: They scripted a theft to assert insurance to avoid wasting their dwindling industry, however success ran out for this city-based couple who were arrested on Saturday from their house in Nehru Nagar.
They had filed a false grievance about a theft, claiming clothes worth Rs 50 lakh have been stolen from their boutique some 10 days again.
Archana Singh and her husband Prem Veer, each in their overdue 40s, have been working a boutique for the previous 4 years near their house. Lately, they were incurring losses in their industry.
They had insured their industry with the Oriental Insurance Company for Rs 45 lakh, and to assert this amount they hatched a plan to fake a theft at their shop. However, their plan was busted when police detained some suspects, whose pictures were captured on CCTV cameras installed near the shop, and interrogated them. They published the names of the couple and their maternal uncle.
The 'suspects' turned out to be a day-to-day salary labourer and a pick-up automobile motive force who were hired by means of the couple's uncle to transfer the clothes, police stated.
On January 10, Archana lodged a theft grievance at Sihani Gate police station. She stated clothes worth Rs 50 lakh were stolen from her boutique. An FIR of robbery and trespass was registered.
SP (City) Akash Tomar stated, "During the investigation, we came to know that the couple had got done insurance for the shop and also found that their business was not doing well. They had married off their daughter in November 2017 for which they spent a lot of money. We checked footage from CCTV cameras installed in nearby areas and detained a few persons who revealed the owners' names."
"The couple had planned meticulously and removed the CCTV cameras from the shop 15-20 days before executing the plan. They involved their maternal uncle Gajpal in the plan, and the trio decided to hide the garments at his residence in Simbhaoli, Hapur. Gajpal had previously been in prison in connection with the murder of his wife. He is now missing," stated CO II (City) Atish Kumar Singh.
Gajpal brought along two individuals from his village telling them that some issues needed to be moved from his nephew's shop to every other place. On the night of January 9, Gajpal and Prem Veer at the side of the 2 individuals moved the clothes stored in cloth baggage within the shop. Knowing that their movement might get captured at the within reach CCTVs, Gajpal and Prem Veer covered their faces with cloth. When the footage was noticed by means of the police, their claim of robbery was substantiated to start with, however further inquiries nailed their lie, stated the SP.
