KARACHI: In a swift police operation in Karachi’s Lyari Baghdadi area, a woman has been arrested for stealing 20 tolas of gold from her neighbor’s house. The theft, which had left the local community in shock, was uncovered when police launched an investigation following a report from the victim.
The police learned that the suspect had stolen the gold and were able to apprehend her after conducting a raid. The woman’s arrest was part of a broader effort to bring justice to those affected by the crime. A formal case of gold theft has been registered at the Baghdadi police station, with additional inquiries ongoing.
Further investigation revealed that the woman’s husband was also implicated in the crime.
