The theft was uncovered when Anmol returned from Dubai on January 5 and noticed the missing items. After confirming with his mother, he contacted their domestic help. This led to the manager, Sandesh Chaudhary, filing a complaint with the Khar police. The police then summoned the painters for questioning. During the interrogation, Ansari confessed to the crime, resulting in his arrest.
