Seema Vinod Ghate arrested in ₹5L diamond bangles theft
Marine Drive Police Crime Detection Team have arrested Seema Vinod Ghate, a domestic worker, for allegedly stealing diamond bangles worth ₹500,000 from Asha Patel, mother of Ameesha Patel, from Asha Patel's home.
The theft happened back in January 2026, and after months of investigation, Ghate has now been arrested.
Asha Patel's complaint prompted police probe
Asha Patel suspected her domestic help from the start, repeatedly asking about the missing jewelry but getting only denials.
She eventually filed a police complaint, which kicked off an official investigation.
Under Senior Police Inspector Jitendra Kadam's supervision, the Crime Detection Team traced and arrested Ghate.
The police are now trying to recover the missing bangles and checking if Ghate has any previous criminal record.
Reminder to background check domestic workers
The case is a good reminder to always do thorough background checks and stay alert when hiring domestic workers.
