NEW DELHI: A farmhouse belonging to film actor Sangeeta Bijlani in Maharashtra’s Pune district has been found vandalised, with items reported stolen, police said on Friday. According to news agency PTI, the incident came to light after Ms Bijlani visited the property — located at Tikona village near Pawna Dam in Maval — following a gap of several months. In a complaint to Pune Rural Police, she said the main door and window grills were broken and several household items — including beds, a refrigerator and CCTV cameras — had been damaged or destroyed. A television set was also found missing. In her application addressed to Pune Rural Superintendent of Police Sandip Singh Gill, the actor said she had been unable to visit the farmhouse due to her father’s health issues. “Today I visited the farmhouse along with two of my maid servants. Upon arrival, I was shocked and horrified to discover that the main door had been broken. Upon entering, I found the window grills were damaged, one television set was missing while another was broken,” she said in her complaint. “The upper floor was completely ransacked, all beds were broken, and many household items and valuables were either missing or destroyed,” she added. A police team has been sent to the location for further assessment, according to Lonavala police station’s senior inspector, Dinesh Tayde. “We will register an offence once the assessment of the damage and theft is completed,” he told news agency PTI.
