Mumbai, February 16 Three individuals have been arrested for allegedly stealing valuables worth Rs 50 lakh from the house of a businessman in Andheri, Mumbai, a police official said on Monday.
The official from the Amboli police station identified the accused as Suryamani Nadar, Jaywant Charsing Pawar, and Surya Kadvi Mudaliar.
"On February 7, the 65-year-old complainant and his wife went to Jaipur to attend their younger son's wedding. They had locked their apartment and given a spare key to an employee. On February 10, when this employee arrived at the apartment, he noticed signs of a break-in. Someone had broken the window bars to enter the house," the official said.
According to the businessman's complaint, the house had been ransacked, and the locks of all four cupboards had been broken, with diamond-studded ornaments, gold jewellery, an expensive watch, and other valuables, totaling Rs 50 lakh, missing.
"Analysis of CCTV footage and technical data from the area led the police to Mudaliar, who then named Nadar and Pawar as his accomplices. Efforts are underway to recover the stolen items," the official said.
