A suspected conman, who claimed to be a staffer of Rashtrapati Bhavan, was on Monday arrested here for allegedly stealing a couple’s jewellery worth Rs 5 lakh when they travelled on an Air India flight to Delhi recently. Identified as Ghulam Ali Nathani, the person was apprehended by a joint team of Delhi police, Air India security and Uttar Pradesh police after they raided his rented accommodation in the Civil Lines area, based on vital inputs provided by a phone SIM card data.

According to officials, on 11 October a Delhi-based couple-- Mercy Manoranjini and Subramaniam  lodged a complaint with Air India that their baggage containing Rs 5 lakh jewellery has gone missing from the conveyor belt after they landed in the national capital from Hyderabad.
