Chhattisgarh Police have arrested a young woman who looted cash and valuables here worth Rs 1 lakh from a woman whose husband she blamed for her heavy loss in the stock market.
Ayesha Aghadi (36) was taken into custody along with her fiance Irshad (21) for robbing the woman and her son after posing as health surveyors for Covid-19 vaccine last week, the police said on Saturday.
While Aghadi belongs to Ratnagiri in Maharashtra, Irshad is from Uttar Pradesh, Raipur Senior Superintendent of Police Ajay Kumar Yadav told The Pioneer.
On July 2, they entered a flat of the victim and took away gold and silver ornaments, cash, an I-pad and a mobile from the woman and her 16-year-old son, Yadav said. They had used a rented Scooty in the crime. Police detained the vehicle owner with whose help the couple was caught.
Aghadi told the police that she is a Chartered Accountant and she invested in the share market through the woman’s husband Sanjeev Kumar. After suffering heavy losses in the share market, she asked Kumar to return her money but he did not.
So she decided to take revenge and roped in her fiancé in the crime.
