In Rajasthan's Tonk district, a woman's own brother-in-law stole nearly Rs 14 lakh from her house. Police arrested him within 24 hours and recovered the entire cash along with the stolen car used in the crime.

Police in Rajasthan's Tonk district have cracked a theft case with an unusual twist, the thief turned out to be a family member. A man stole nearly Rs 14 lakh from the house of his own sister-in-law, and officers tracked him down in just 24 hours, recovering Rs 13,58,500 in cash along with the stolen Alto car used in the crime.

Money Hidden In A Grain Container After Land Sale
The victim, the accused's sister-in-law, had sold her land a few days earlier. To keep the nearly Rs 14 lakh she received safe, she stored it inside a grain container, locally called a kothi, at her parental home. She believed the cash could not be safer anywhere else in the house. What she did not know was that her own brother-in-law had his eye on that very money.

A Debt-Ridden Brother-In-Law Gave In To Greed
According to police, the accused works as a supervisor at a factory and was buried in debt. He somehow learned that his sister-in-law had stashed lakhs of rupees from the land sale inside the grain kothi. Struggling with financial distress, he hatched a plan to rob his own in-laws' house. The moment he got a chance, he grabbed the entire stash of cash and fled. What made the case more startling was that nobody in the house had the slightest clue about the theft until it was discovered.

Special Team Cracks The Case In 24 Hours

As soon as the complaint came in, a special team was formed under the supervision of CO Niwai Mrityunjay Mishra, led by DST in-charge Omprakash Chaudhary and Barauni station house officer Narayanlal.
