Incident Information

According to reports, the robbery occurred around 2 pm on February 4 at Pritam Chakraborty’s music studio, Unimus Record Pvt. Ltd. The report states that a representative from a production house had delivered a bag containing Rs 40 lakh in cash to the composer’s manager, Vineet Chedda. Present at the time of the incident were Sayal, Ahmed Khan, and Kamal Disha. Authorities are questioning those present to gather more details.

A police officer revealed that the manager kept the money in a trolley bag in the office and went to Chakraborty’s house (which is in the same building) to get his signature on some documents. Once he returned, Chedda discovered that the trolley bag containing the cash had vanished. He immediately questioned the other staff members, who claimed that Sayal had taken the bag, saying he was transporting it to Pritam Chakraborty’s residence.

Police revealed that Chedda attempted to contact the suspect, but his calls went unanswered. He reportedly grew more suspicious when the suspect switched off his mobile phone entirely. Realising something was amiss, Chedda promptly informed Pritam Chakraborty about the situation, who then asked him to immediately file a complaint with the authorities. The officer said, “On the music composer’s advice, he approached the police station and lodged a complaint. A case of theft has been registered, and we are trying to trace the suspect. We are reaching out to his relatives and also working on leads through his mobile phone’s call data record.”
