When he was arrested on Monday, Shahid Khan revealed his motive for the burglary with surprising honesty.
He bought a phone in February, created an Instagram account and started posting his own photos.
“One morning, his photo was liked by a profile from Canada. The two started communicating and Shahid, a muralist, got so involved that he decided to send her expensive gifts through Amazon. But he needed money. He came up with a plan to rob a bank and flee to Mumbai,” said ASP Chiranjeev Nath Sinha.
