Hema Malini said: "Right now I do not want to comment as it was done by our own staff. The items stolen were used in shoots and shows." The domestic help, responsible for cleaning the warehouse, has been missing from work since 5-6 days.
Hema Malini's manager lodged a complained at Juhu police station after he saw some items were missing from the warehouse. When he tried to contact the domestic help, his number went unreachable. A police officer said the manager later found some antique statues, imitation jewelry, clothes, stage show props were also missing. The servant had been working for the actress for a long time.
