A 77-year-old antique collector has filed a case against his estranged wife, two daughters and seven others accusing them of stealing rare artefacts worth Rs 2.5 crore from his Dadar home. The man said he was abroad when the pieces of historical importance were taken away without his permission. The police traced the stolen objects to Bhiwandi and seized them.
In his complaint, the man said he has been a Dadar resident for the past 40 years and has collected over 100 antiques, some of which have been certified by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as 100 to 150 years old. The antiquarian said he suffers from age-related ailments and depends upon a househelp for daily chores.
