The Malvani police have arrested two sisters who allegedly stole a gold earring from a jewellery shop while wearing burqas to conceal their identities. As they couldn’t be identified using the shop’s CCTV footage, the police conducted a ‘reverse investigation’ to nab the duo.

According to the police, the incident occurred on April 14 at Raj Jeweller, located near Malvani Gate No. 7. Posing as customers, the women entered the shop and engaged the shopkeeper in a conversation while looking at various jewellery designs. Taking advantage of a momentary distraction, they stole a gold earring weighing 9 grams and left the shop shortly afterwards, without making a purchase.
