Mumbai: Vanita Gaikwad, a 38-year-old woman has been arrested by the property cell of the Crime Branch for allegedly stealing 2,500 dollars (approximately Rs.1,85,360).
Vanita works as a house help and reports reveal that she has been arrested over 50 times for house theft since 2006. The accused has been convicted in several such cases.
The police informed that she keeps changing her name in order to not get caught.
