The Amboli police on Monday booked the domestic help of fashion designer and reality show contestant Rohit Verma after the latter filed a complaint of theft and extortion. According to Rohit Verma, three expensive watches were stolen from the house by his servant who demanded Rs 15,000 to return them.
When mid-day approached Verma, he said, "I hired my domestic help three months ago. I even went to Amboli Polie station to get his verification done. Since his permanent address is in Bihar, the authorities at the police station said that the verification needs to be done from there."
Verma added that ever since his last domestic help was also caught in a theft case, he always gets police verification done. However, this time, he was turned away by Amboli cops. The designer has filed an FIR at Amboli police station.
According to the complaint filed at Amboli police station, the domestic help Ajay Sharma ran away with three expensive watches worth Rs 70,000 on Monday morning. When Verma contacted Sharma, he said that the watches are with him and he needs Rs 15,000 to return the same.
