A woman in south Delhi orchestrated a bold scheme to retrieve intimate photos by allegedly conspiring to have her husband's phone snatched. The plan, police say, involved two accomplices hired to execute the snatching in June.

As authorities report, one of the perpetrators, Ankit Gahlot, 27, has been arrested. He revealed that the motive behind the crime was to erase scandalous images of the woman with another man, stored on her husband's phone. They meticulously executed the plan with information about the victim's daily routine provided by the woman.

The masked suspects fled on a rented scooter, identified through Vasant Kunj's ANPR scan, which eventually led police to Balotra, Rajasthan. However, the second suspect remains at large. The woman faces legal proceedings as the investigation continues.
