The Juhu police booked a 28-year-old domestic help on Wednesday for allegedly stealing two 1kg gold bricks worth Rs 1 crore from his employer’s house in Juhu.
The accused, Prabhunarayan Mishra, worked for a 76-year-old businessman and committed the theft between May 10 and June 20. Mishra continued working for five more days after the theft before abruptly quitting. Only Mishra had access to the room where the gold bricks were kept.
