A theft of Rs 40 lakh was reported from the Mumbai office of Bollywood music composer Pritam Chakraborty. The money was kept in the office by his manager, Vineet Chheda, and later went missing. Chheda immediately reported the incident to the Malad Police Station.
Chheda received the cash from a production house and placed it in a trolley bag at Pritam’s studio, Unimus Record Pvt. Ltd., in Goregaon. At the time,
employees Ashish Sayal, Ahmed Khan, and Kamal Disha were present. Chheda then went to Pritam’s residence, which is in the same building, to get documents signed.
When he returned, the bag with the money was gone. The staff said Sayal had taken it, claiming he was delivering it to Pritam’s house. However, when Chheda tried to call Sayal, his phone was switched off. He went to Sayal’s home but found him missing.
