When she returned, another girl came up to her and informed her that a girl had removed money from her bag.
They both searched the campus to find the girl and managed to catch her. The Matunga police sprung into action and found that the girl had cash stolen from four others and a mobile phone from one of the four victims.
"The girls reading room doesn't have a camera like the boys reading room. That is why such things happen easily," said a police officer.
The girl's parents were called in and were shocked to know that hear about their daughter. Singh's mother is a teacher by profession and her father is a railway employee.
They were in tears while being questioned about their daughter whom they say is "a very nice girl. We are searching a boy for her. We hope this doesn't spoil her future. It is not like her to do something like this."
Sunil Deshmukh, senior police inspector, Matunga police station said, "The woman is educated and has a good family background. There is no motive for her to steal. Her parents are confused and in shock. We recovered Rs 3,645 and a mobile worth around Rs 15,000 from the girl."
Singh will be produced at the Holiday Court at Bhoiwada and has been charged with Indian Penal Code 378 (theft).
