A 67-year-old 'aunt' found four parathas in her bag. When the police searched her, a big secret was revealed. Read the full story

Delhi Crime Story: Everyone is stunned to hear the misdeeds of a 67-year-old woman arrested by Delhi Police. At an age when women are not even capable of managing household chores, the actions of this woman named Rambiri were astonishing. Gangsters in Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh know her as 'Chachi'. This woman's story is no less than a movie. This elderly woman, a resident of Meerut, used to supply weapons from Uttar Pradesh to Madhya Pradesh with just four parathas and a bottle of water in her bag. But near Shakur Basti railway station in Delhi, 'Chachi's' game ended and sophisticated weapons were recovered from her. Read when and how this elderly woman maintained her respect in the world of crime.

New Delhi. The capital, Delhi, sees many faces of the criminal world, but the Delhi Police recently arrested a woman who has surprised even seasoned police officers. This is the story of 67-year-old Rambiri, affectionately known as "Aunty." But this "Aunty's" real job wasn't to feed her children with a pallu over her head, but to supply weapons to notorious criminals in Delhi-NCR. According to the Delhi Police, Rambiri is the oldest female arms smuggler ever arrested in Delhi. When did this woman enter the world of crime, and what exploits has she accomplished?

The most interesting thing that emerged after Rambiri's arrest was her modus operandi. Rambiri hails from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. She frequently traveled long distances from Meerut to Indore and Khargone in Madhya Pradesh. Police reported that Rambiri traveled very discreetly. She adhered to the principle of "travel light," meaning she didn't carry any heavy luggage or bags.

Who is this 67 year old 'aunt'?

Her bag contained only four parathas and a bottle of water. She traveled on the train as an ordinary elderly woman, hoping to avoid suspicion from any investigating agency or the police. Who knew that this seemingly ordinary woman was concealing the instruments of death within her clothing or small bag? She posed as a common traveler, allowing her to evade police attention for years.

The game ended at Shakur Basti station.

Rambiri's game of hide and seek ended on January 9, 2026. The Delhi Police Special Cell and local police received a tip-off that an elderly woman was arriving in Delhi with a large consignment of weapons. The police laid a trap and surrounded Rambiri near Shakur Basti railway station.

When the bag was searched, the secret came out

When the police searched her, they were stunned. Four sophisticated weapons and three magazines were recovered from the 67-year-old woman. She was bringing these weapons from Khargone and was destined to supply them to a gang in Delhi-NCR.

The advantage of age and a clever mind

Police officials say Rambiri was lured into this business because her age was her biggest security blanket. Police typically search young men or suspicious-looking men at railway stations and bus stands. No one would suspect a 67-year-old woman could be involved in organized crime.

The oldest woman smuggler ever found in Delhi

Delhi Police have previously arrested several women on charges of arms smuggling, but Rambiri's age has surprised everyone. Police are now trying to determine how long she has been involved in this business and how many weapons she has supplied in Delhi so far.

The 'Death Route' from Meerut to Khargone

Investigations have revealed that Rambiri is part of a larger syndicate in Meerut. She would board a train from Meerut and travel to Khargone in Madhya Pradesh, a region notorious for illegal arms manufacturing. From there, she would pick up weapons and head back to Delhi or Meerut. Whenever she felt hungry along the way, she would eat the same four parathas she had packed at home. Her simplicity was her greatest weapon.

Police challenge and further investigation

According to senior Delhi Police officials, Rambiri's capture is a major success, as she was a key link. Her arrest makes it clear that criminals are now targeting elderly people and women for fear of being caught. Police are now investigating the network to which Rambiri was supposed to deliver the weapons.

Rambiri is currently in police custody and is being interrogated. The police hope that through "Aunty," they will uncover the entire corridor of illegal weapons operating between Meerut and Khargone. This case serves as a lesson to all security agencies that conduct checks based solely on suspicion, because crime has no face or age.
