The Story in Brief
A Kolkata-based scientist and businessman has alleged that $6,000, worth around Rs 5.28 lakh, was stolen from his room at a five-star hotel in Bandra West, Mumbai. The Bandra police have registered an FIR against an unidentified person under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita provisions for theft in a dwelling house.
Rahul Roy, 65, told police that hotel staff and visitors entered his room after he opened his travel bag to take out medicines. He later found the bag and wallet open, with 60 $100 notes missing. Police are checking CCTV footage and questioning hotel staff. No arrests have been made.
The Indian Opinion
The case does not yet justify claims of an organised hotel theft or staff involvement. Police have found nothing suspicious so far and are also asking Roy’s family to check whether the cash was left behind in Kolkata. The investigation should rely on CCTV, room access records and staff questioning, not speculation. The key fact will be whether footage or other evidence identifies someone entering the room when the money was accessible.
