The shutter of a jewelery shop opened on Tuesday morning in Bhogal, capital Delhi. A cloud of dust came out from inside the shop. Everyone went inside the shop with surprise and held their heads. All the gold, silver and diamonds kept in the shop were missing. The news of Delhi’s ‘biggest’ theft came to light. Thieves made jewelery worth Rs 25 crore disappear. The police have caught those who carried out this incident. The main accused or rather the leader of the thieves has been identified as Lokesh Srivas. Master thief Lokesh is not a small thief. FIRs are registered against him in many states. He used to touch only gold and silver. But now his sleeping game is over. Let’s know Lokesh’s complete crime horoscope…
Not satisfied even after loot of Rs 5 crore
In the year 2019 also, master thief Lokesh had carried out a major incident. According to the report of ‘Aaj Tak’, Lokesh had committed theft in a shop named Parakh Jewelers in Chhattisgarh in 2019. Then he looted goods worth Rs 5 crore. On the same lines of tactics which the accused had adopted in Delhi, he had carried out this major incident there also. But even after such a huge loot he was not satisfied. He was worried about committing a ‘grand theft’ incident. Ultimately he made Umrao Singh Jewelers of Delhi his target.
Have been to jail many times
Lokesh is not being called a master thief just like that. He has committed many incidents of theft. FIRs are registered against him in many states like Delhi, Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Telangana, etc. The police have arrested him several times and even put him in jail. But as soon as he comes out of jail, he starts planning the next theft. The theft of Umrao Singh Jewelers is being said to be the biggest theft of his life.
How was the ‘Lord of Thieves’ caught?
Chhattisgarh Police got this input that Lokesh is hiding in Durg district. He had taken a room on rent in Smriti Nagar area of Durg. The surprising thing is that his room was just a few meters away from the police post. When the police reached there after gathering complete information, they found gold worth crores of rupees scattered on the floor in the same room. Police have arrested the accused. The case is being investigated.
