iPhone for Girlfriend: How 9th-grade Student Stole Mother's Gold to Fund a Gift for His Girlfriend

Buying an iPhone might sound interesting as long as Golds are not stolen from the house. In a shocking incident, a Grade 9 student from Delhi Nafarganj stole Mother’s jewelry to raise funds for his Girlfriend.

The matter came to light when the Mother of the accused filed a complaint of theft with the South Delhi Police. Upon preliminary investigation, a child of 9th grade was accused of the crime.

After receiving information from the accused, Police arrested Kamal Verma and found a Gold ring and earring. Ankit Singh, DCP Dwarka claimed that the theft was made between 8 AM and 3 PM on the 2nd of August.

Based on verbal communication with the mother of the accused, it was found that no suspicious activity was reported nor any witnesses were found which created curiosity about the act being performed by someone within the home premises.

While trying to communicate with the Son, he was found missing from his home. Upon contacting the school friends, they informed police that he bought an iPhone for 50,000. Several raids were initiated in the hideouts but the accused managed to escape every time.

Finally, a tip helped the police to catch hold of the accused. Upon confrontation, the minor initially denied his involvement but later admitted to his actions. He mentioned, that his father died recently and he had limited interest in studies. However, he asked his mother for money from his mother, but because of some financial challenges, she denied her son’s request and advised him to keep a focus on his studies.

The investigations are ongoing and the materials will be recovered shortly.
