MUMBAI, Dec. 24 -- Gold jewellery worth Rs.36 lakh was stolen from a bank locker belonging to an Andheri-based event manager. The police said they have registered a case against an unidentified person on Saturday. The incident goes back to 2023, when, according to the DN Nagar police, the complainant, Apoorva Shah, a 54-year-old resident of Andheri West found that ornaments kept in his locker at the Juhu branch of a private bank were missing. Shah told the police that he opened an account with the bank in 1997 and was allotted a free locker in 2013. In February 2021, he placed several gold and silver articles, including a gold pendant studded with precious stones inside the locker. Later in 2021, when Shah visited the bank, he noticed that the locker room was being painted. However, he did not check the contents of his locker or remove the ornaments, as he was not given any prior notice by the bank. In September 2023, when he opened the locker again, he grew suspicious. He noticed that the locker appeared to be damaged and saw that some valuables that had been kept inside small boxes were missing, and the boxes were found empty. When he raised the issue with Sai Raj, the bank official present at the time, he was allegedly assured that no one had accessed the locker. The complainant later reported the matter to the bank authorities, who also maintained that the locker had not been tampered with and advised him to look for the jewellery in his house. After confirming that the items were missing, the complainant lodged complaints with the bank administration and the DN Nagar police in 2023. He even met the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bandra, and informed him about the alleged theft. Following a preliminary inquiry, on Saturday the police registered an FIR under sections 380 (theft), 454 (house trespass) and 457 (house trespass by night) of the Indian Penal Code....
