An aspiring model from Jogeshwari West – Sheetal Nagraj Gholap – left her job as an adviser with a health insurance company just before the lockdown, in order to become a model, but she soon ran out of money. In order to fulfill her modelling dreams, she started stealing gold jewellery and cash from a relative's house in the same area. The relative got suspicious and filed a complaint with the Oshiwara police station, following which Sheetal was arrested. The cops have recovered jewellery worth R2 lakh from her.

The victim has been identified as Sunita Agvane, Sheetal's relative and a resident of Ganesh Nagar, Jogeshwari West. According to the police, the accused stole because she needed money to pursue her dream of becoming a model.
