A trusted face turned thief in a stunning insider robbery at the Mumbai apartment of BJP parliamentarian Manoj Tiwari. The culprit, a recently fired domestic aide, exploited his familiarity for a clean sweep of luxury items.
Details emerged early today after the burglary at the Bandra property. Absent owners returned to find drawers ransacked and safes emptied of jewelry, currency, and smart devices totaling lakhs in value. Grainy footage showed the perpetrator slipping in undetected.
Tiwari, the charismatic leader blending Bhojpuri flair with Delhi politics, called it a ‘personal stab.’ Dismissed for incompetence just weeks prior, the ex-staffer from Bihar knew every nook, bypassing alarms effortlessly.
Bandra police launched a manhunt, nabbing the 30-something suspect within hours at a nearby slum. Recovered loot included diamond studs and iPhones. His interrogation revealed desperation from mounting debts as the trigger.
The breach has ignited debates on loyalty and security in elite homes. Experts advocate for tech-driven vetting and regular audits of staff. Tiwari’s team is overhauling defenses, adding armed guards.
As charges mount against the accused, this saga reminds of the thin line between service and sabotage. Public figures like Tiwari must now rethink blind faith in those closest to them.
