Based on a complaint from one Rekha Jain, a resident of Preet Vihar, that her servant had made way with her gold necklace and bangles, police launched a probe into the case and found that Manoj had joined as a domestic help under a false name.
Sleuths found that Manoj was planted at Jain's house by Satish Kumar, who had met the couple at a city hospital.
"Manoj along with Satish hatched a conspiracy after the latter came to know that the couple was looking for a servant. Manoj, as per the conspiracy, agreed to work as a domestic help on a meagre salary of Rs 2,500 per month.
"He introduced himself with a false name Rohit. The Jains had not cared to get this casual hiring verified," a senior police official said.
