Not in one day, Sonam Kapoor's house burgled in span of 10-11 months

The burglary at Hindi cinema actor Sonam Kapoor's Delhi residence did not take place in just a day, rather, the thieves gradually stole precious items over a span of 10-11 months.


"The jewellery and cash were stolen in a span of 10-11 months, as and when the accused nurse got a chance," a Delhi Police official told IANS.

A complaint was lodged two months back, on February 23, regarding theft at the residence of Harish Ahuja at Amrita Shergil Marg in Delhi. Notably, Harish Ahuja is father-in-law of Sonam.

The complainant who had noticed the robbery on February 11, however, reported the incident 12 days later on February 23 after which Delhi Police registered an FIR under section 381 (Theft by clerk or servant of property in possession of master) of the Indian Penal Code at the Tughlak Road police station and initiated an investigation into the case.

The case was being jointly investigated by the special staff of New Delhi district and the Crime Branch of Delhi Police.

The news about the theft at the actor's residence broke on April 9, mounting further pressure on the cops to deliver the result urgently. Four days later, on April 13, the police arrested a couple -- a nurse and her husband -- for the said Rs 2.4 crore burglary.

The accused nurse, identified as Aparna Ruth Wilson (30), was working as a home medical care assistant at Kapoor's residence at Amrita Shergil Marg in Delhi and looking after Sonam's husband Anand Ahuja's mother. The husband of the accused woman, who was also involved in selling the stolen items, was identified as Naresh Kumar Sagar.
