When I returned around 8 am, I found the rear left window of my Toyota Etios broken. My purse and mobile, worth around Rs 57,000, were missing,” said Nadkarni. Similarly, three other vehicles suffered the same treatment. The rear left window of Prashant Patel’s Toyota Innova had been shattered and his sunglasses, cash, mobile and debit card were stolen.

“My car was parked exactly opposite the CCTV camera of Trident Hotel. I hope the cops manage to trace the accused through the footage,” Nadkarni added. “We have asked for the video footage from Trident. Once we go through it, we will be able to identify the thieves and go further in the case,” said an officer from the Marine Drive police station.
