Two men held for trespass and theft at actor Shilpa Shetty's Mumbai bungalow
Mumbai, Jun 15: The Mumbai police have arrested two men for allegedly committing theft at the bungalow of Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty at Juhu in Mumbai after trespassing into the property, an official said on Thursday.
Both the accused are habitual offenders. However, what exactly was stolen from the house is yet to be known as the actor is abroad at present, police said.
"The incident came to light when the housekeeping manager of the actor's 'Kinara' bungalow approached the police with a complaint of theft and trespass," the police official said.
As per the complaint, some renovation work was going on at the bungalow since May end and the actor along with her family members went abroad on May 24, he said.
"On June 6, when the housekeeping manager visited the actor's bungalow, he found that the household items in the hall, dining room and the master bedroom were scattered all over. The cupboard in the bedroom of Shetty's daughter bedroom was also found to be open with things lying scattered," he said.
After that, he checked the footage of the CCTV cameras installed in the bungalow premises. One of the videos showed an unidentified person wearing a face-mask entering a bedroom by opening the sliding window and trying to steal things, he said.
Based on his complaint, a first information report (FIR) was registered under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 457 (lurking house-trespass or house-breaking), 380 (theft), 511 (attempt to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment), he said.
"Police examined the footage of more than 70 CCTV cameras installed on the premises of Shetty's bungalow and nearby areas and zeroed in on the suspects. Based on the available evidence, two persons were apprehended from Vile Parle area of the city," he said.
According to him, the police have arrested both of them and further investigation into the case is on.

Nagaland govt denies permission to hold 'Gau Mahasabha'
Kohima (PTI): The Nagaland government has decided not to grant permission to ‘Gau Mahasabha’ (mega meeting for cows) in Kohima on September 28, a senior minister said on Wednesday.
Shankaracharya of Jyotirmath, Swami Avimukteshvaranand Saraswati, is scheduled to preside over the meeting.
In Christian-majority Nagaland, beef is consumed by a majority of the population.
The decision not to allow the programme was taken during a Cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, government spokesperson and minister C L John told reporters here.
The Cabinet highlighted the protection given under Article 371A of the Constitution on the religious and social practices of the Nagas as well as the Naga customary law and procedure, John said.
During the meeting, the Cabinet was apprised of the opposition voiced by various civil society organisations and political parties in the state.
Objections to the event were raised by the ruling Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), its allies BJP as well as the Naga Peoples’ Front (NPF) and civil society organisations such as Naga Mothers’ Association and Naga Students’ Federation.
John said, “The Cabinet did not grant permission to hold the programme in the interest of maintenance of public order.”
The government is also of the view that it will be better for the organisers not to come to Nagaland to hold that programme, the minister said.
“Beef has been part of the Naga cuisine since time immemorial,” Naga Mothers’ Association president Vilanuo Yhome told PTI.
The state BJP also denounced the proposed programme.
“It has nothing to do with the Nagaland BJP. It is imperative to address this issue in the context of Nagaland’s socio-religious and cultural fabric,” state BJP president Benjamin Yepthomi said in a statement.
