The Delhi Police arrested a woman for allegedly robbing her own mother's residence in the Uttam Nagar area.

The woman allegedly stole gold and silver jewellery along with Rs 25,000 in cash as she needed financial assistance and because she felt a "lack of love" from her mother, according to the police.

The incident took place on January 30 between 2:00 pm and 2:30 pm, the police said. Upon interrogation, the woman, Shweta, confessed to the crime, citing financial woes and a sense of being less loved by her mother compared to her younger sister as her motives.

She admitted to planning the robbery after feeling envious and resentful towards her sibling, whom her mother loved more.
