Bollywood singer Sonu Nigam was reportedly robbed of Rs 72 lakhs cash at his Oshiwara home in Mumbai. In the aftermath, the senior citizen’s ex-driver was booked under multiple sections of the IPC for the alleged crime. According to reports, the incident took place sometime between the intervening hours of March 19 and March 20. The incident came to the fore when Sonu’s sister Nikita took to the local police to file a complaint.
As per the complaint, Agamkumar Nigam had a driver named Rehan who worked for him for eight months before being removed recently due to poor performance. On Sunday, Agamkumar visited his daughter’s home in the Versova area for lunch and returned after some time.
Later, he called Nikita to inform her that ₹40 lakh was missing from a digital locker kept in a wooden cupboard. The next day, Agamkumar went to his son’s home in 7 Bungalows for some visa-related work and returned in the evening to find another ₹32 lakh missing from the same locker. The locker was not damaged.
Agamkumar Nigam and Nikita checked the CCTV footage of the society and discovered that the former driver, Rehan, had visited Agamkumar’s flat with a bag on both days when he was away.
