Sajid's very own Judas
Early morning yesterday was probably the most terrible morning for Sajid Nadiadwala, who has produced films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004) and Heyy Babyy (2007). In what seems like a plot straight out of a Bollywood film, he was rendered helpless as his own security guard robbed him, holding his wife, Wardha at gunpoint.
Said Inspector Suresh Nalawade of Versova police station, "Sajid and his wife returned home early in the morning at around three and asked the watchman to retire for the night. His wife then went to check on their daughter. It was at this time that the watchman, Prabhat, 24, thrust a revolver at her and demanded money and jewellery. Sajid quietly handed over Rs 10 lakh in cash and jewellery worth Rs 40 lakh. Thankfully, Prabhat did not injure Wardha saying that Sajid was co-operative enough to part with the booty. The investigation is on."
We asked him if they had a lead on Prabhat's whereabouts. Added the Inspector, "Prabhat was working with a firm called Tiger Security, but they seem to have no information on him. He had been working with Ocean View, Sajid's residence, since the last six months."
