According to Juhu police officials, Sonam and her mother Sunita approached them on February 5 to lodge a complaint of theft under Section 380 of the Indian Penal Code. In her complaint, Sonam has said that on February 4 she had attended a party in Bandra when she was wearing the necklace and other jewellery, and returned late in the night.
She then kept the necklace in a drawer in her room at 2 am, but later the same day she found it missing. According to the actress, she had been given six boxes of jewellery from a renowned jeweller for an endorsement and she wore this jewellery costing crores overall to the party.
The next day when the jeweller's representative came to collect it, she found the diamond necklace missing. Police said that the necklace was approximately worth Rs 5 lakh.
