According to an FIR registered at the Sector 40 police station, the complainant, Sunil Kumar Sharma, a retired government officer, reported that he was asleep when he heard a suspicious noise around 3 AM.

Separate Theft Incident in Sushant Lok Phase-1
In a related development, another theft occurred in Gurgaon's Sushant Lok Phase-1, where gold jewellery weighing approximately 8–9 tolas and Rs 1 lakh in cash were stolen from a house. The incident came to light on the night of February 7 when the complainant, Pooja Yadav, returned home around 10:30 PM after walking her dog.
Yadav found a gold locket on her bed, which had originally been stored inside a bed storage box. Upon further inspection, she discovered that two gold chains, a gold coin, and 8–10 pairs of gold earrings were missing from a jewellery bag. Additionally, Rs 1 lakh was stolen from a locked wooden almirah, while the remaining cash was left untouched.
Suspicion has fallen on domestic help, as the locker keys were hidden inside the same compartment, suggesting possible insider involvement. Two domestic workers, a cook and a cleaner from Kanhai village, had regular access to the residence. Police have registered a case at the Sushant Lok police station, and an investigation is underway to determine the culprits.
