A caretaker who joined as a substitute to care for a bedridden woman in Andheri made his way with jewellery and valuables worth Rs 4 lakhs. A report in The Times of India said that the man was arrested within two hours of filing a complaint with the police.

According to the police, the accused identified Avinash Salunkhe (21) was caught after his phone number’s location was traced by the police. He was hired by the woman’s family through a private agency after the regular caretaker went on leave. The woman in her early 70’s, who is said to be a relative of a former Union Minister, suffered from a neurological condition, due to which her movement below the waist is restricted. She would be alone at home as her husband and daughter would travel frequently.
