Delhi Teenager’s Shocking Betrayal: Mother’s Gold for iPhone and Girlfriend’s Birthday
New Delhi: A disturbing incident has come to light in the national capital where a Class 9 student was arrested for allegedly stealing his mother’s gold jewelry. The stolen ornaments were subsequently sold to fund the purchase of an Apple iPhone and to finance his girlfriend’s birthday party.
The theft was reported on August 2, from a residence in Najafgarh, a suburb in South West Delhi. The victim, the boy’s mother, initially lodged a complaint alleging a burglary by an unidentified intruder. However, a diligent investigation by the Delhi Police took an unexpected turn.

The prime suspect, the teenager himself, was eventually apprehended after a tip-off revealed his possession of a new iPhone. Initially, the boy denied any involvement in the theft. However, under persistent questioning, he confessed to his crime, admitting that he had sold his mother’s gold earrings, ring, and chain to local goldsmiths in Kakrola. The money obtained from this illicit act was used to purchase the iPhone and cover the expenses of his girlfriend’s birthday celebration.
The police have also arrested a 40-year-old goldsmith, Kamal Verma, who purchased the stolen jewelry. A portion of the stolen gold has been recovered from his possession.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka), Ankit Singh, attributed the boy’s actions to a complex interplay of factors including academic pressure and the desire to impress his girlfriend. The officer emphasized the growing trend of young individuals resorting to extreme measures to fulfill their desires, often disregarding the consequences of their actions.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by today’s youth and the importance of parental guidance and support in shaping their values and decision-making abilities.
