Overview
- Police arrested Paro in Bawana on April 9 after reviewing CCTV from about 50 sites and running a month of field surveillance.
- The gang picked women who were alone at hospitals and temples, using casual talk and warnings of bad luck to get them to part with jewellery.
- Officers say Paro had been declared a Proclaimed Offender in two cases and is a key suspect in at least three cases filed at I.P. Estate and Mandir Marg stations.
- Police identify her as a 38-year-old resident of Bawana who is married with three children, and they say financial strain drew her into leading the racket.
- One cited case from April 2023 at LNJP Hospital matched the same method, with a woman losing her gold ornaments during a staged conversation.
