The Andheri police have arrested a serial house breaker—Ubaid Haider Ali Khan, 25—after he gifted a mobile phone to his newlywed wife and linked his email ID that was under surveillance. Google alerted the police about the login, which helped track him down in Darbhanga, Bihar.

Khan, a resident of Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, had committed multiple house break-ins a year ago, targeting around 13-15 houses in Andheri before fleeing to Varanasi. The Andheri police managed to track him and alerted the Varanasi police which attempted to arrest him. However, Khan managed to escape from custody and has been on the run since.
