Delhi Diamond Scam Foiled: Three Arrested in Jewellery Heist

In a significant breakthrough, Delhi police arrested three men involved in a diamond scam. Two were caught replacing genuine diamonds with fake ones, while another bought the stolen jewels. The arrests followed the examination of CCTV footage and confessions.

Delhi police have successfully apprehended three individuals involved in a daring jewellery heist. The incident, which took place on June 6, saw the accused replace genuine diamonds with fake stones and subsequently escape. The main suspects, identified as Sagar Gupta and Chander Shekhar, used a cunning ruse to scam a showroom worker by requesting to verify the diamonds' authenticity before purchase.

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan, the showroom's employee was sent along with the accused to Karol Bagh for verification. However, midway, Gupta and Shekhar swapped the real diamonds with fake ones and returned them, claiming they were not genuine. Upon returning to the showroom, the employee realized the deception and reported it to his employer.

CCTV footage and diligent police work led to the arrest of Gupta in Gurgaon and Shekhar in Haridwar. Further investigation revealed that the stolen diamonds were sold to Madhusudhan Aggarwal, a family friend of Gupta. All three diamonds were recovered from Aggarwal's possession, bringing the case to a successful close.
