India is currently dealing with a devastating second Covid-19 wave that has swept through the nation, crushing the country's health infrastructure and overburdening frontline medical workers. It is by now clear that a person who has been recovered from covid can get infected again. Vaccination is effective as a remedy but according to experts, nothing can guarantee 100 per cent safety.
During covid crisis, on the one hand, many people are coming forward and helping people by practicing the religion of humanity. While some people are at taking advantage of others and trying to loot them.
A shocking incident has taken place in Mumbai's Kandivali area where police arrested two domestic helps from Bihar for theft at a senior citizen's residence where they were working.
As per a news report, the complainant had employed a 28-year-old househelp Shyamsundar Yadav on April 4 to help with the chores and as a caretaker. A 74-year-old Navin Chandra Mistry lives in the Vishwa Milan Society in Kandivali. He is suffering from a serious illness. His daughter, who lives in Andheri, had hired a man named Shyam Sundar Yadav to take care of her father. Ten days later, Shyam, however, said that he had to leave for home for his brother's wedding and left the job, sending Anil Yadav, 37, as a replacement. Two weeks into the job, Anil too made an excuse that his wife died and rushed back to his hometown.
The incident came to light when both Shyam and Anil left their jobs and rushed to their hometowns. The complainant visited her father for a few days on April 28 and noticed that gold jewelery worth Rs 7 lakh 50 thousand and cash Rs 40,000 lakhs of rupees was missing from the house. Realising that her father was robbed, the woman approached Kandivali Police and lodged a complaint. Police began the probe and scrutinised the CCTV camera footage, only to find Anil leaving from the building at 2.30pm and boarding an autorickshaw and taxi to reach Worli Dairy. Police also traced Shyam's mobile number to Darbhanga in Bihar and sent a team there.
Accused Anil Yadav and Shyam Yadav have been arrested by the police directly from Darbhanga in Bihar after the owner of the house lodged a complaint. They have been booked under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and further probe is underway.
