Once complainant realised the truth, they approach cops, who threaten woman with red-corner notice to get her back to India
Accused Anuradha Tambde
A 35-year-old woman’s plans to travel to Dubai to work as a domestic help did not work out after she stole jewellery worth Rs 8.36 lakh from a senior citizen’s house in Malad, mortgaged it with three different jewellers and fled the country with the money she got. Within 24 hours of the incident, the Bangur Nagar police tracked her down and made her return to Mumbai and confess to the crime.

Accused Anuradha Tambde worked as a domestic help in the complainant Sathi Balkrishna Menon’s, 71, house in Jankalyan Nagar of Goregaon West. Police sources said that Menon’s husband has been bedridden since February and she had employed Tambde to take care of him. On October 29 when Menon was cleaning her cupboard, she checked her ornaments and started to have doubts as to whether they were the actual ones.
When she told Tambde about the same, she gave vague replies and that made Menon suspicious. Later, she realised that someone had stolen the jewellery and replaced it with fake ones. Tambde did not return for work the following day, after which Menon approached the police and registered a theft complaint against her. The police traced Tambde’s phone number and found out that she had left for Dubai. The cops contacted her and threatened to issue a lookout notice against her if she did not return. Following this, she came back to Mumbai and the cops arrested her. During interrogation they found that she had mortgaged the jewellery with three different jewelers.
Under the supervision of senior inspector Shobha Pise, detection officer Yogesh Ramekar with his team started the investigation and arrested Tambde from the Marol-Maroshi area on November 1.
Requesting anonymity, an officer said, “Tambde has confessed to the crime. We have recovered all the stolen jewellery, which the accused had mortgaged with three different jewellers. She was produced before court and has been remanded to judicial custody.”
