66 Hard Disks Go Missing From Tiger Baby Office as Two People Are Held

Police investigations include probing grey‑market sales alongside cyber‑forensics to determine whether unreleased footage was copied or leaked

Overview

  • The loss was uncovered after staff checking storage on May 21 found empty and damaged hard‑disk boxes and reported 66 drives missing from a recorded inventory of 119.
  • Bandra police have registered an FIR and arrested an office employee, Mohammad Shahid Azim Khan, and a Borivali buyer named Ritesh; both have been remanded to custody until May 29.
  • Police say Khan confessed to stealing and selling 24 drives over about five months for roughly Rs 15,000–20,000 each and that investigators are working to locate the remaining devices.
  • The missing drives were high‑capacity units (reported 16TB–72TB) that reportedly held raw footage, edits, backups and possible unreleased material for Tiger Baby projects.
  • Tiger Baby’s founders confirmed the robbery and said backup copies exist while authorities continue recovery efforts and cyber‑forensic checks to assess any copying, leaks or wider networks involved.
