Sonam Kapoor, Anand Ahuja’s New Delhi residence robbed of INR14 million

The latter's grandmother, Sarla, lodged the complaint on Feb 23 while a culprit is yet to be found

Bollywood actor Sonam Kapoor and her husband Anand Ahuja’s New Delhi residence was reportedly robbed today. The family has faced loss in stolen cash and jewellery worth INR14.1 million (Rs34 million).

Apparently, the theft took place two months ago in February but reports started surfacing in the media only yesterday, on April 8. According to Pinkvilla, investigations are underway to find the culprit behind the big robbery. Kapoor and Ahuja are currently in Mumbai, but their staff — 25 employees including nine caretakers, drivers, gardeners and other workers — are being questioned in the investigation.

Not just police but the Forensic Science Laboratories (FSL) are also involved in the case to collect all forms of evidence at the crime scene. However, while reports suggest they have suspects, a culprit isn’t found as of yet. Considering the media status of Kapoor and Ahuja, the case was kept under wraps.

The Veere Di Wedding actor’s inlaws, Harish and Pooja Ahuja lived in their New Delhi residence located in Amerita Shergill Marg — Delhi's costliest neighbourhood — along with Ahuja's grandmother Sarla Ahuja. The family lodged an official complaint about the crime on Feb 23 while they found out about the crime on Feb 11. Sarla was the first one to find her jewellery and cash missing. She informed the police that she last checked the stolen items in her cupboard two years ago.

The police are reviewing CCTV footage from the past year alongside forensics and staff cross investigations. According to Indian media, last month a report claimed that Kapoor's father-in-law Harish's law firm had been duped of INR 270 million (Rs661 million) and 10 people were arrested in that case.

Kapoor and Ahuja are also expecting their first baby together! After months of pregnancy rumours, the former announced the news last week with adorable pictures of the couple cradling the baby bump on social media. The Neerja actor penned a beautiful message in the caption. "Four hands. To raise you the very best we can. Two hearts. That will beat in unison with yours, every step of the way. One family, who will shower you with love and support. We can’t wait to welcome you,” read the caption. She concluded the post with the hashtags #everydayphenomenal, and #comingthisfall2022.
