Veteran actor Anupam Kher expressed his heartfelt gratitude towards the Mumbai Police for their prompt action in apprehending the thieves who recently ransacked his office. The actor took to Instagram on Sunday to share the news, posting a picture of the arrested individuals alongside the police officers who captured them. He also included screenshots of social media posts from both himself and the Mumbai Police.
Anupam’s note read, “My heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the Mumbai Police for catching both the thieves who ransacked my office, stole my safe, and the negative of #MaineGandhiKoNaiMara. The fact that it was done within 48 hours speaks of their amazing efficiency!! Jai Ho! (Folded hands, heart eyes, and National Flag emojis).”
The accompanying photo showed the thieves standing with the police in front of the station, with the caption, “THANK YOU!! (Folded hands and heart eyes emojis) @mumbaipolice @cpmumbaipolice.”
Earlier, the Mumbai Police had shared an update on their Instagram account, stating, “Investigating the complaint of burglary in Azad Nagar, Amboli Pstn officials using technical investigation methods, traced the two suspects within 24 hours. The investigating team also recovered the stolen property, which included a movie reel, cash, and an iron vault.”
According to news agency PTI, the suspects, identified as Majid Sheikh and Daler Bahreem Khan, were arrested on Friday night in the Jogeshwari area. The police described the two as serial thieves who used autorickshaws to travel across the city and commit thefts.
The robbery at Anupam’s office occurred on Wednesday on Vira Desai Road in the Amboli area. The thieves took away negatives of a film produced by Kher’s company and ₹4.15 lakh in cash. The duo also committed another theft in Vile Parle on the same day. A portion of the stolen property has since been recovered.
Anupam Kher had previously recounted the incident on social media platforms X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. He wrote, “Last night in my Veera Desai Road office two thieves broke two doors of my office and the whole safe from the Accounts Department (which probably couldn’t break) and negative of a film produced by our company which was in a box, stole. Our office has got an FIR done. And police have assured thieves will be caught very soon. Because CCTV is seen sitting in auto with both the luggage. May God give them wisdom. This video was made by my officers before the police came!”
The swift response and efficient work of the Mumbai Police have been widely appreciated, highlighting their dedication to ensuring the safety and security of the city’s residents.
