Thieves steal cash, valuables from Air India crew at GGM guest house
Gurugram, Oct. 18 -- Two unidentified suspects allegedly stole cash and valuables from four women crew members of Air India after breaking into their rooms via the balcony of the guest house in Sector 42 where they were staying.
The incident took place around 2.30am on Wednesday. While the cabin crew did not file a police complaint themselves, authorities registered a case of theft based on a complaint from the guest house management.
According to Karan (single name), a senior official of the guest house, CCTV footage showed two suspects approaching the rear of the building, climbing to the balcony, and reaching the rooms. He said the suspects threatened the two crew members in room number 103 to hand over their valuables.
"Those two terrified women handed over two watches and cash to the two suspects, after which they fled," Karan said.
He refuted claims that the suspects entered two rooms. "They were on the balcony and did not enter any room," he added.
Karan said the guest house, leased by Air India, had 15 crew members staying there at the time. The airline shifted them to another location within four hours of the incident.
According to police, the suspects made off with personal valuables, including two watches - Fossil and Michael Kors - cash, and jewellery.
The police version also differed slightly from that of the guest house: they stated that four women, not two, staying in two separate rooms were targeted. A case of theft was registered on the guest house management's complaint on Friday evening.
Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police, added, "Investigation is ongoing to establish what happened."
"We are concerned about the theft at the Gurugram hotel and have relocated the affected crew. Crew safety is our priority, and we are cooperating with local authorities to ensure legal action," an Air India spokesperson said....
