According to an IANS report, the arrested woman has been identified as 40-year-old Seema Ghate, a resident of Palghar. She had reportedly been working as a homemaker at the residence of Ameesha Patel’s mother, Asha Patel, for around one-and-a-half years.
Police said a bracelet was allegedly stolen from the house in January 2026. Asha Patel reportedly suspected Seema Ghate of being involved in the theft. She is said to have subsequently spent around five to six months asking Ghate to admit to the alleged theft and return the jewellery.
However, the bracelet was allegedly not returned even after considerable time. Asha Patel then approached Mumbai Police and filed a complaint at the Marine Drive police station. Following the complaint, police began investigating the matter.
Initially, police registered a case against an unidentified woman under Section 306 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The Crime Detection Team subsequently took up the investigation and began searching for the suspected woman.
During the investigation, police traced the accused to Virar and took her into custody. Following questioning, Seema Ghate was arrested and produced before the court. The court remanded her to police custody until September 15.
The investigation is currently underway, with police continuing efforts to recover the stolen jewellery and examine other aspects linked to the alleged theft.
Ameesha Patel made her Bollywood debut with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai in 2000. The film became a major box-office success, and Patel rose to popularity overnight. She subsequently appeared in films including Gadar: Ek Prem Katha, Humraaz, Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd., Bhool Bhulaiyaa and Race 2. Ameesha Patel was last seen in the 2024 film Tauba Tera Jalwa.
