BEAUTICIAN WHO ROBBED AFTER FACE PACK HELD

NEWDELHI: A couple was arrested for stealing cash and jewellery from west Delhi homes by posing as beauticians, providing beauty care at home. Anjali Rajpoot, 18, of Inderpuri, and her lover Sumit operated in the afternoon and targeted women. They travelled door-to-door offering service. Rajpoot would put make-up on the client’s face, taking special care to apply a little extra on the eyelids. As the client kept her eyes shut, the man cleaned the house of valuables and sneaked out thereafter.

The duo stole ₹24,000 and jewellery worth ₹1.5 lakh in two strikes reported to police. Police recovered ₹64,000 cash and some unsold jewellery. Leads provided by victims helped nab Rajput. She gave away the whereabouts of her ‘boyfriend’.

The modus operandi is the brain child of Sum it, who worked with a gold firm in central Delhi’s Shadipur.
