Police in Coimbatore arrested a 30-year-old woman, Kokila, for allegedly stealing from homes, primarily targeting residences of elderly people, by posing as a medical insurance inquirer. Police recovered ₹4 lakh from the accused, part of the ₹8 lakh stolen from a house in Varadarajapuram. The investigation began after Gopalakrishnan filed a complaint on August 20 about the theft, and police reviewed over 300 CCTV camera feeds to trace and arrest Kokila. During questioning, Kokila admitted to targeting unoccupied houses and reportedly told police she deposited ₹20,000 of the stolen money as an offering at the Thiruthani Murugan temple.
