A Kanniyakumari-based influencer, known for flaunting gold, diamond jewellery and cash on social media, has lost valuables worth nearly Rs 1 crore in a burglary at Nagercoil, police said on Saturday.
Now, police are examining those very social-media posts and reels of the influencer as part of the probe to ascertain if something gave her location away to the burglars. What was once flaunted to thousands of followers may now be helping police in the investigation. Police are now examining whether the influencer’s social-media activity may have helped burglars track the family’s movements, including posts and reels showing the jewellery, cash and even videos of cash being showered on a child.
Around 120 sovereigns of gold and diamond jewellery, along with Rs 50,000 in cash, were found missing from Madhumita’s family home, police said.
The family had gone out for shopping on Thursday. The family discovered the burglary after returning home when they found the locker open and valuables missing. Seizing the opportunity, burglars entered their VIP Garden house in Nagercoil and took cash and valuables worth around Rs 1 crore.
