What was meant to be a quiet visit to her farmhouse turned into a disturbing discovery for former Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani. Bijlani arrived at her bungalow in Tikona village near Pawna Dam, Pune, only to find it completely ransacked and burgled after nearly four months of being vacant.
The actress, who had stayed away from the property due to her father’s health issues, was accompanied by two housemaids when she discovered the break-in around 9:30 am. According to her statement to Pune Rural Superintendent of Police Sandip Singh Gill, the main gate and window grills were broken, one television was missing, and another had been smashed. Bijlani revealed that the upper floor of the farmhouse was completely vandalised. Beds had been destroyed, household items lay in ruins, and the CCTV cameras had either been stolen or severely damaged.
