Thursday, May 15, 2025 - A newly hired couple working as domestic workers planned with two others to drug and rob the family of Indian Congressman Sandeep Chaudhary at his residence on Wednesday, May 14.
The accused, along with two unidentified accomplices, are currently on the
run, according to Times of India.
Police said the incident occurred at Chaudhary's house in Anand Nagar
under the Vaishali Nagar police station limits.
The main suspects, identified as Kajal and Bharat, worked as cooks at the
residence for just 15 days.
According to a preliminary investigation, the duo served sedative-laced
tea to Chaudhary's mother Krishna (75), and wife, Mamta (43) early in the
morning. Once the women fell unconscious, the accused called in two
accomplices, looted valuables from the house, and fled. Chaudhary's two
children were also present in the house at the time but were unharmed.
After both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lost consciousness, the
accused removed the jewellery they were wearing. They also looted
additional cash and ornaments from a cupboard in the room.
The incident came to light around 7.30am when Chaudhary, a former chairman
of the Barren Land Development Board, was out of the city, and was unable to
reach his mother and wife by phone. He alerted his daughter who rushed to the
room and found both women unconscious.
Chaudhary then alerted his relatives and neighbours and asked them to go
to his residence. The two women were then taken to hospital for treatment.
The couple, who earlier worked in Gujarat, was hired about 15 days ago
through a placement agency.
Police found their ID details, photographs, and CCTV footage showing their
entry and exit from the house. An official added that once the women lost
consciousness, the accused completed the robbery within 45 minutes and fled.
"There are indications that one of the women may have resisted when
her jewellery was removed. Police found signs of struggle, a few bloodstains,
and evidence of vomiting," said an official.
