Pune, Jul 19: A theft has been reported at the farmhouse of Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani, located in Tikona village near Pawna Dam in Maval taluk of Pune district. The incident came to light on Friday when the actress visited the property after a gap of four months.

In her complaint to the Pune rural police, Bijlani said the main door and window grills were found broken, with a television set missing and several household items either damaged or stolen. The property, according to her, had been unvisited for months due to her father's health condition.

"Today, I visited the farmhouse along with two of my maid servants. Upon arrival, I was shocked to discover that the main door had been broken. Upon entering, I found the window grills were damaged, one television set was missing while another was broken," she stated in her written application to Pune Rural SP Sandip Singh Gill.

She added that the upper floor was completely ransacked, all beds were broken, and various items and valuables had been stolen or destroyed. CCTVs installed on the premises were also found vandalised.

Lonavala police senior inspector Dinesh Tayde confirmed that a team had been dispatched to assess the extent of the theft and damage. “An offence will be registered once the assessment is completed,” he told PTI.
