Mumbai’s Juhu Police have arrested 47-year-old Rashi Chhabria for allegedly stealing jewellery and luxury watches worth around Rs 25 lakh after gaining the trust of actress Raveena Tandon’s family.
According
to police, the accused had been associated with the Tandon family since 2020 and regularly visited their residence to care for Raveena Tandon’s 86-year-old mother, Veena Tandon. Investigators said Chhabria was considered close to the family and had access to parts of the house usually restricted to family members.
She is accused of breaking open a locker kept inside the family’s Juhu residence and stealing gold and diamond jewellery belonging to Veena Tandon, along with two expensive watches owned by Raveena’s brother, film producer Rajiv Tandon.
As per the police complaint filed by Rajiv Tandon, the alleged theft came to light on October 2, 2025, when the family checked the jewellery ahead of the Dussehra festival and discovered that the locker had been broken into. The missing valuables reportedly included gold bangles, necklaces, rings, earrings, a diamond-studded mangalsutra and other diamond jewellery worth around Rs 25 lakh.
When the family discovered that the jewellery was missing, they questioned Chhabria, but she initially denied the allegations. Police said that after the matter was reported, she was arrested. Some of the stolen watches have since been recovered, while efforts are ongoing to trace the remaining jewellery.
According to investigators, Chhabria allegedly told the family that the jewellery had been handed over to another person and would be returned. However, the valuables were allegedly never recovered, prompting Rajiv Tandon to approach the police.
Juhu Police are continuing their investigation into the case and are working to recover the remaining stolen jewellery.
