KHAR: Reshma Advani had registered (CR No-359/05) a case in the Khar police station against her maid Neelam Jai Jadhav (20). Neelam was working and staying at the complainant's residence since October-2005. Two months after she gained the confidence of Reshma, Neelam plotted a theft. On November 29, when Reshma was out for some work, Neelam stole cash, jewellery and mobile valued to be over Rs. 2 lakh from the house.

Interestingly, Neelam approached Advocate Mishra to defend her and told him that she had little money to pay him as fees but if he can oblige. Mishra sympathized with her and even bought her lunch. He then took his children to school leaving her in his house.
Here too, Neelam allegedly stole the Advocate's mobile and fled.

Mishra registered a complaint with Khar police.
In the meanwhile, Neelam went to Panvel to stay with her boyfriend and stole his mobile too before fleeing away. Police recovered all that she had stolen.
