Police told the court that they have recovered a 100-gram gold biscuit worth Rs 15 lakh and a gold ingot worth Rs 29.7 lakh from Solanki and they want to recover the remaining booty from these arrested accused.The case came to light after someone tipped off the Ahir family that two of the accused, namely Satish and Amit, who were drawing a salary of around Rs 18,000 working as cook and household work, had allegedly acquired a new house, purchased land, a tempo and a car in their native Jharkhand, besides transferring large sums to relatives. The informer also sent photos to corroborate his claim.Krishna Ahir, son of Sachin, who is the complainant in the case, told police that four domestic workers had been employed at the family’s Worli Sea Face residence for several years. Dashrath Sharma had been working as the family’s cook for about 17 years, while Amarjit Shah had been cooking for nearly 13 years. Satish Kumar Mistry and Amit Kumar Rambachan Prasad had been employed for six to seven years for household work and serving meals, while Suraj Kumar Gautam had joined as a housekeeper about two-and-a-half years ago.Krishna told police that the accused had intimate knowledge of the family’s daily routine, the locations where valuables were kept and access to CCTV systems. After a fire caused by an alleged short circuit at the residence on Oct 13, 2025, the family initially believed that some valuables and cash had been destroyed. However, subsequent scrutiny allegedly revealed missing CCTV footage and raised suspicions of theft.
