Delhi Police Cracks E-Commerce Theft Racket

The Delhi Police have uncovered an organized e-commerce theft ring involving pickup staff, recovering 152 stolen women's purses worth approximately Rs 4 lakh. Investigations revealed that the culprits were stealing goods during bulk consignment pickups. Police arrested key figures involved and are continuing their investigation.

The Delhi Police have reportedly dismantled a sophisticated e-commerce theft racket involving pickup staff from online platforms. Officials recovered 152 stolen women's purses of an international brand valued at around Rs 4 lakh, according to a Monday announcement.

The issue surfaced following continuous theft reports by the owner of the international purse brand, culminating in an e-FIR filed on February 6. Investigators initially found no results from warehouse staff interrogations, but technical surveillance and social media scrutiny revealed key leads.

Subsequent actions saw the deployment of a decoy customer placing an order to verify suspicions about low-priced branded purses. This operation led to the capture of Sat Prakash during a raid, along with two more arrests, Santosh and Rahul, all linked to e-commerce platforms involved in systematic theft. Further investigation is currently underway.
