Mumbai: A senior citizen from Andheri has lodged a police complaint against her maid for stealing gold and diamond jewellery worth Rs 35 lakh.
The 65-year-old complainant, who is the mother of an actress-model, told police that her maid, Shehnaz, had started work in Feb. She would come to work at 7.30 am and leave at 9 am. During this time, the complainant would visit a gurdwara. Her ornaments were kept in a cloth inside an unlocked wooden drawer in her bedroom. Her maid had seen her keep ornaments in this drawer.

On April 25, Shehnaz requested her for an advance to pay her house rent and offered to clean her bedroom. The complainant gave her an advance of Rs 9,000 and left for the gurdwara. The next day, Shehnaz did not come to work and wouldn’t answer phone calls. The complainant couldn’t find her ornaments anywhere in the house. She later lodged a police complaint against her maid.
