Mumbai, Jan 12: A 49-year-old Colaba resident has filed a complaint with the Colaba Police after discovering that gold and diamond jewellery worth approximately ₹25 lakh had been stolen from his residence. The theft is believed to have occurred sometime between October 20 and January 10.
Complainant and background
The complainant, Anish Rajkumar Parsarampuriya, a businessman residing in Colaba, also runs a plastic film manufacturing factory in Dombivli since 2000. According to the FIR, the jewellery was originally gifted to his wife, Aarti (48), by his mother during their wedding in January 2001.
The complainant’s wife had documented all items in an album and stored them in a digital locker inside their bedroom wardrobe.
Events leading to the theft
On October 20, 2025, the couple visited the complainant’s father in Matunga for Diwali celebrations. His wife wore some of the jewellery that day. Upon returning home around 10 pm, instead of storing the jewellery inside the digital locker, she placed the items in a wooden jewellery box kept on top of the locker.
Between October 20 and January 10, two domestic workers, Geeta Rathod and Kamlesh Paswan, had travelled to their native places alternately. During the same period, two carpenters, Narayan and Ashish, visited the home for wooden and marble polishing work. A temporary worker named Akash, hired during Kamlesh’s absence, also had access to the house but has since stopped coming.
Theft discovered
On January 10, 2026, around 3 pm, the complainant’s wife opened the cupboard to retrieve jewellery before leaving for a friend’s religious event. She found the wooden jewellery box open and several items missing.
