The investigation into a theft at the AIIMS women doctors’ hostel has led Delhi cops to a 43-year-old woman who cannot resist the lure of gold and has committed several jewellery thefts earlier. The accused, who lives in Ghaziabad, has told police that she is a science graduate with a diploma in medical lab technology. She has said she loved ornaments, but never had enough to buy them. So she turned to stealing them.<\/p>\n

On March 27, a woman doctor at AIIMS registered a police complaint for theft in her room. She told the cops that two gold chains, a gold ring, a pair of gold earrings, a gold bracelet, Rs 4,500 cash and 522 Malaysian ringgits — about 10,000 rupees — were missing from her room. Police registered an FIR and started an investigation.<\/p>\n

As part of their probe, police scanned footage from about 100 CCTV cameras on the AIIMS hospital premises. They noticed a suspicious woman in the hostel corridors after most doctors had left for work. The woman wore a doctor’s coat and was seen trying to open several rooms. Another CCTV captured her arriving at and leaving AIIMS premises on a scooter. The cops tracked the scooter and managed to note down its registration number. This number was tracked to an address in Ghaziabad’s Brij Vihar and the woman was arrested.<\/p>\n

During questioning, the accused told police that she loved wearing jewellery and this had led her down the crime path. The accused has said she has worked as a lab assistant at a private hospital. During her visits to AIIMS, she found that women doctors do not lock their rooms when they leave for work. She arranged a doctor’s coat so that security guards would not be alarmed and stole from the rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
