An FIR has been lodged in the local police station. The victim suspects that a parlour employee maybe involved in the incident. “I visited the parlour at around 11am. After stepping inside, I removed the jewellery and kept them inside my bag. At around 12.44pm, I went to another room to grab a magazine. When I returned, I found that my bag containing jewellery and cash worth R2.5 lakh, were missing,” Arya said.

“We have taken the CCTV footages from the parlour and have found that a woman was involved in the theft. We are also interrogating the parlour employees and the culprit will be arrested soon,” said a senior police officer requesting anonymity. “There were 12-15 other people present in the room and surprisingly no one noticed it, he further added.

The CCTV footage shows a woman aged around 45-47-years-old, wearing a brown salwar kameez and carrying a yellow polythene bag entering the parlour at around 12:40 pm and running away with the bag.

Manju Madan, the owner of La Grace Beauty parlour denied commenting on the matter.
