Overview
- Investigators say a recently employed domestic worker is the prime suspect in an overnight break-in at the Khedkar family’s Baner/Aundh bungalow.
- Puja Khedkar told police the servant drugged her parents, tied her up, and fled with mobile phones and other valuables after she later freed herself and called for help.
- Five people, including her parents, the watchman, driver, and cook, were found unconscious and taken to hospital, where officials described their condition as stable and said formal statements are pending.
- Chaturshringi police registered a case late Sunday and, according to the DCP, have identified about seven suspects including the servant and formed teams to trace them.
- CCTV cameras at the bungalow were not functioning, so officers are reviewing nearby footage and compiling an inventory of losses, which has not yet been fully determined.
