He acknowledged that he had stolen approximately ₹20,000 worth of jewelry and cash from the Akshardham Colony home.

The police recovered 3.8 grams of gold jewelry and 66.52 grams of silver jewelry from him. They have also filed additional charges under Section 317(2) of the BNS Act and Section 4/25 of the Arms Act due to the possession of the illegal knife.
