A 33-year-old woman has been arrested by the Manpada police for robbing a constable's house in Dombivli East by posing as a police officer. According to the police, the accused identified as Bhakti Shinde befriended the victim's wife on Facebook and frequently visited their house. During one of her visits, she allegedly stole jewellery and cash from the constable's wife Vidisha Rajvardhan Wagh.

"Shinde told me she knew many high profile people and also showed me pictures of her along with them. She told me that she was a three-star officer and also produced an ID of the same. On April 3 she paid me a visit at home. Later, when I went to purchase groceries, she asked my daughter to accompany. After my daughter left the house and Shinde was alone, she stole jewellery and a mobile phone," said Wagh
