Police on Friday picked up five domestic helps from superstar Amitabh Bachchan's Jalsa bungalow in Juhu for questioning after a theft in the house.
This is the second theft in less than a year at the actor's house. In July, an intruder, later identified as Dilip Kevat, was arrested for stealing Rs 8,000 from Bachchan's room. The police said this time the sum is Rs 25,000 and added that some valuables may also be missing.
The Juhu police launched a hush-hush probe after the Bachchans requested that an FIR not be filed in the case. They also wanted the cops to be soft in questioning the staff and focus only on finding if it was an insider's job.
The domestic helps were picked early in the morning from the bungalow after the investigating team questioned every member of the staff. While three of them were allowed to leave soon after, two underwent sustained grilling. No arrests have been made so far.
When TOI contacted Juhu Senior Inspector Arun Bhagat, he confirmed an incident at Jalsa, but refused to divulge any details. "The Bachchans have asked us not to discuss the matter with anyone," he said.
Sources said the police suspect it to be an inside job as not everyone in Big B's staff has access to his room, from where the cash went missing. Additional Commissioner Vishwas Nangre Patil said it would be premature to comment on the case. "Cash has gone missing from the house, but it's too early to comment if it is a case of house-breaking or if an insider was involved. Investigations are on."
