Chennai, Mar 21: Filmmaker Aishwarya Rajinikanth's maid and car driver were arrested on Tuesday for stealing gold and diamond jewellery from the celebrity's house, police said.
Abetted by driver Venkatesan, the maid Easwari stole about 100 sovereigns of gold jewellery, 30 grams diamond jewellery and four kilograms of silver articles. The woman sold them and used the proceeds for the purchase of a house here, a police release said adding it was also utilised for buying some articles.
Employed as a maid for 18 years, Easwari was knowledgeable about Aishwarya Rajinikanth's household and she committed the theft by opening the locker multiple times.
She knew the location of the key and used it to open the locker. She stole the jewellery items and other articles over a period of time, police said. The stolen, movable properties were recovered from the maid and documents related to purchase of a house property were also seized.
The action follows a complaint to police from Aishwarya, daughter of actor Rajinikanth, that valuable jewellery went missing from a locker in her Poes Garden house.

Chadha, others wouldn't have left AAP had it followed 'right' path: Anna Hazare
Mumbai (PTI): Social activist Anna Hazare has said Raghav Chadha and six other Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Rajya Sabha members would not have quit the party had it followed the "right" path.
"Everyone has the right to hold an opinion in a democracy. They (Chadha and others) must have faced some trouble, which is why they left," Hazare told reporters on Friday in Ahilyanagar district of Maharashtra.
AAP Rajya Sabha members Raghav Chadha and Sandeep Pathak addressed a joint press conference in Delhi on Friday, announcing their exit from the Arvind Kejriwal-led party to join the BJP.
Chadha claimed that nearly two-thirds of AAP's Rajya Sabha members had quit the party and would function as a separate faction.
"It is their (AAP leadership’s) fault. Had that party followed the right way, they would not have left," Hazare said.
Hazare reiterated that Chadha and others must have faced difficulties within AAP, and that is why they left. "Had the party gone in the right direction, they would not have quit the party," he added.
"There must be some or the other reason (for their leaving AAP). In a democracy, every person has a view about where to stay and leave," Hazare said.
The Chadha-led exodus marks a significant setback for the Kejriwal-led party since its formation in 2012, which followed the momentum of Anna Hazare’s anti-corruption movement.
