Earlier on March 21, the Teynampet police arrested two persons – a woman domestic help and a driver – for allegedly stealing gold jewellery and diamonds from the house of Soundarya’s sister and Rajinikanth’s elder daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth at Poes Garden in Chennai.

The action was taken after Ms. Aishwarya, in February, discovered that many pieces of jewellery had gone missing from her safe locker. In her police complaint, she had said she suspected that her domestic help A. Eswari, 46, who had been working with her for the past 18 years, might have had a hand in the theft.

Eswari who was later nabbed by a special team, confessed that she knew where the keys to the safe locker were kept. The police said Eswari and K. Venkatesan, 44, who worked as a driver there, stole the jewellery, one piece at a time. They sold the items and bought a house in the city. The police arrested Eswari and Venkatesan and recovered 100 sovereigns of gold jewellery, 30 g of diamond, 4 kg of silver articles and property documents from them.
