New Delhi: The police on Tuesday said that they have arrested a 28-year-old woman and her aide for staging a robbery at her own house in Shastri Nagar in north Delhi’s Sarai Rohilla.
Rs 2.18 lakh and gold jewellery were robbed from her house, news agency PTI reported.
As per police, the accused had also injured herself and tied herself up to mislead the investigation.
