In a dramatic turn of events, the Delhi Police has arrested a 32-year-old woman accused of stealing gold jewellery worth lakhs from a social media influencer. The suspect posed as a fan and requested a meeting for photographs.

The heist took place when the woman met the influencer in his office in South Delhi's Chattarpur locality. She asked him to wear his expensive gold jewellery for the photos. When the influencer was momentarily distracted by a phone call, she fled with 100 grams of gold ornaments.

Police tracked the woman to Manali, Himachal Pradesh, with her husband, and eventually recovered the stolen gold from her Haryana residence. Authorities continue to investigate the incident, Deputy Commissioner of Police Ankit Chauhan confirmed.
