Incident Overview

In a dramatic turn of events in south Delhi’s Sultanpur area, a woman allegedly conspired with two men to snatch her husband’s phone. The motive behind this bold move was to delete intimate photos stored on the device, which featured her and her lover. The incident, which took place on June 19, has drawn significant attention due to its unusual nature and the subsequent police investigation.

Details of the Crime

According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Ankit Chauhan, the woman provided detailed information about her husband’s daily routine and work schedule to the accomplices. Armed with this information, the two men executed the plan by snatching the phone near Old UK Paint Factory on Main Market Road in Sultanpur. The complainant reported that two masked individuals on a scooter carried out the theft, with one wearing a distinctive blue T-shirt.
