She mentioned that she had been living at their other home in Gurgaon since September 2023. Upon her return to the MDC residence on October 5, 2023, she noticed that jewelry worth about Rs 75,000 and other valuables were missing from a cupboard on the first floor. Despite her attempts to personally investigate the incident, she could not find any clues.

FIR lodged

Sourav Ganguly too encountered theft
Similar instance happened with former India captain Sourav Ganguly when a theft took place at his residence few days back. The matter was brought to attention after Ganguly lodged a complaint at the Thakurpukur police station on Saturday, 11 February. In his report, he highlighted concerns over personal information stored on the stolen phone and requested the police to take steps to avoid any potential misuse of the information.
Sourav Ganguly was not at home during the theft. He mentioned that he had securely placed his phone within his residence, only to find it missing later. The occurrence coincided with some painting work being carried out at his home, leading to suspicions that the painters might be involved, potentially facing police interrogation.
In a letter addressed to the officer in charge of the Thakurpukur police station on Saturday, Ganguly disclosed that his cell phone had vanished. He recalled last spotting the device around 11:30 am, and despite extensive searching, it remained unaccounted for.
