A jewellery theft case involving Ameesha Patel’s family residence in Mumbai has led to the arrest of a domestic worker, according to police-related reports. Jewellery reportedly valued at around ₹5 lakh, including a diamond-studded gold bangle, was allegedly stolen from the family’s Churchgate home.
Ameesha Patel’s manager also confirmed the incident to India Today, saying that a staff member had been apprehended and was in custody.
The case is currently under investigation, and the allegations against the arrested woman have not been established in court.
Domestic Help Arrested in Jewellery Theft Case
The arrested woman has been identified in reports as 40-year-old Seema Ghate, who had reportedly worked as a domestic help at the Churchgate residence for approximately 18 months.
According to the police account cited in reports, the jewellery was allegedly found to be missing in January 2026. Ameesha’s mother, Asha Patel, reportedly suspected Ghate and allegedly asked her on multiple occasions to return the missing valuables.
After the jewellery was not recovered, Asha Patel approached the police and lodged a complaint.
The Marine Drive police subsequently registered a case and began investigating the alleged theft. A police crime detection team reportedly traced the accused to Virar, where she was taken into custody.
She was later produced before a Mumbai court, which reportedly remanded her to police custody until September 15.
Police Investigate Missing Jewellery
Investigators are now working to locate the allegedly stolen jewellery and establish the circumstances surrounding its disappearance.
Police are also reportedly examining whether other people could have been involved and checking the accused’s background as part of the investigation.
The reported value of the missing jewellery is around ₹5 lakh, with a diamond-studded gold bangle among the items mentioned in connection with the case.
At this stage, the allegations remain part of an ongoing criminal investigation. An arrest or police custody does not by itself establish guilt, and the accused is entitled to due process.

The manager said that the staff member had been caught and was subsequently in jail. The statement comes as reports about the police investigation circulated publicly.
