He is a burglar with a difference. He would visit schools, follow mothers who came there to pick up their children to select his targets.
The man landed in police net recently.
Sudhir Singh was apprehended from south Delhi's Kotla Mubarakpur on 10 May, following an input that a man involved in a burglary case would come there, DCP (South) Chhaya Sharma said.
'He used to visit the schools where mothers come to pick their wards. Then he would follow a woman to her house to judge whether during that period there were other family members present in the house or not. This way, he would select his target,' said Sharma. 'Next day, Sudhir would strike the same house as soon as mother left to pick the child. He also used to roam in government colonies and target locked houses. He used to go to the neighbours posing as acquaintance of the owners and would ask yeh kab aayenge (when will they come)' and after confirming their absence, would strike at the house,' Sharma said.
With Sudhir's arrest, she claimed, police has solved four such cases of burglary. He was earlier involved in eight other cases of burglary.
