He added that the Digital Video Recorder (DVR) connected to the CCTV system had been deliberately disconnected. “We have recovered the DVR, and it will be analysed to check if any footage was captured before the disconnection,” Tayde said.

Mohammad Mujeeb Khan, an associate of former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin, submitted the complaint with Lonavala rural police on Bijlani's behalf.

Khan told PTI that Bijlaniji had kept Rs 50,000 in her father's cupboard for emergencies. The money was allegedly stolen during the break-in.

Police are yet to ascertain the exact date of the theft.

In her complaint, Bijlani said that the main door and window grills were broken, a television set was missing, and several household items, including beds, a refrigerator, and CCTV units, had been damaged or vandalised.
