Overview
- Family members found a broken safe and missing gold and diamond jewellery during Dussehra on October 2, 2025, according to the police complaint.
- Rajiv Tandon filed a formal FIR on May 19, 2026, and Juhu police arrested 47-year-old Rashi Chhabria from Khar on May 21 before she was remanded in custody until May 29.
- Police report that Chhabria admitted to breaking the safe, returned two stolen watches and said she had handed the jewellery to an associate identified as 'Jagdish.'
- Investigators have recovered some watches but most of the jewellery, estimated at about Rs 25 lakh and including sentimental pieces such as a diamond-studded mangalsutra, remains missing and is being traced.
- The case spotlights risks when long-term domestic staff gain trusted access to private areas and could prompt tighter vetting and security checks for high-profile households as police continue their probe.
