New Delhi, Sep 7 - A domestic help has been arrested for alleged looting at several places in south Delhi as well as in neighbouring Gurgaon and Hisar, police said Monday.

Kamal Majhi, a resident of East Midnapur in West Bengal, was arrested from the cantonment area here four days ago after he robbed a senior Supreme Court lawyer of various precious articles.

'Kamal has a long criminal career. His tactic of looting in the house starts when he wins the confidence of the house owner. He used to give his photograph and school certificates to show that he was genuine,' Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) H.G.S. Dhaliwal told reporters.

'Within two-three days of his employment he used to ransack the house and flee with cash, jewellery and other valuables from the house,' Dhaliwal added.

According to police, he was allegedly involved in several cases of theft in south Delhi, Gurgaon and Hisar.
