A daylight burglary case in Delhi was solved after a police officer disguised as a fruit seller trapped the suspect. Jewellery valued at Rs 25 lakh was recovered from a hidden locker. Kalam Nadaf, the accused, was arrested. He confessed to stealing the locker, jewellery, and cash.

In a clever sting operation, Delhi Police arrested a man involved in a daylight burglary case, retrieving jewellery valued at Rs 25 lakh. The suspect, Kalam Nadaf, was nabbed after an officer posed as a fruit seller to catch him. Nadaf, a Bihar native, has a history of theft and burglary.

The burglary took place in South Patel Nagar, prompting police to form a special team. A mobile phone found at the crime scene became a crucial lead. Constable Vikas, part of the team, contacted the accused under the guise of returning the discovered phone, successfully luring Nadaf into police custody.

Interrogation revealed Nadaf had concealed the stolen locker at an under-construction building. Officers recovered it, uncovering valuable jewellery. The 23-year-old suspect is reportedly a school dropout, with multiple theft cases against his name.
