Mumbai Police booked a former driver of singer Sonu Nigam’s father for allegedly stealing Rs 72 lakh from his residence. Agamkumar Nigam lives at Windsor Grand building in Oshiwara, Andheri west. According to a News18 report, an official said that the alleged theft took place between March 19 and March 20.
A complaint was filed by Sonu’s younger sister Nikita at the Oshiwara police station in the early hours of Wednesday. As per the complaint, Agamkumar had a driver named Rehan for nearly 8 months but he removed him recently as his performance was not satisfactory.
Citing the complaint, the official said, on March 19, Agamkumar visited Nikita’s home in the Versova area for lunch. After returning home in the evening, he called his daughter to inform her that Rs 40 lakh was missing from a digital locker kept in a wooden cupboard. The following day, Agamkumar went to his son’s home at 7 Bungalows for some visa-related work when he returned home he found another Rs 32 lakh missing from the locker, which was not damaged.
On checking the CCTV footage of the society, Agamkumar and Nikita found his former driver Rehan going towards his flat with a bag on both days when he was away.
According to the complaint, Agamkumar suspects Rehan entered his flat with the help of a duplicate key.
The Oshiwara police registered a first information report (FIR) under Indian Penal Code sections 380, 454, and 457 for theft and trespassing for housebreaking, the official said, adding that an investigation is underway.
