The police initially suspected the role of the two house-helps. “However, as interrogations progressed, it became clear that the duo had no role to play,” said police inspector S Sawant from Matunga police station.

“The building does not have a watchman and there is no CCTV camera in the building. Also, no one saw the dacoits enter or exit the premises. We are preparing sketches of the accused based on the description given by the victims”, said an officer from Matunga police station requesting anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to the media.
