Thane: For 62-year-old woman an evening at her home in Castle Mill Naka was meant to be a simple ritual of self-care. Living in the quiet comfort of the Sumer Castle building, she thought a professional at-home massage would offer a brief escape from the aches and pains of daily life.

On October 5, a 62-year-old woman in Thane suffered a profound breach of trust when her personal gold jewelry was stolen during an at-home massage appointment. Living in Castle Mill Naka, the senior citizen had booked the session through the popular home-service app, Yes Madam, seeking a moment of relaxation.
The session began as planned, with a therapist named Sonali Varhade entering her apartment carrying professional supplies. For a while, the massage proved effective, melting away the lady's physical tension. However, as she drifted off to sleep, the therapist left without saying goodbye or wrapping up the session.
Upon waking, the woman discovered that her 7-gram gold ring and her daughter's 6.5-gram gold chain had vanished, totaling approximately ₹1.35 lakh in value. With no other visitors entering the home that day, the theft seemed to stem from the very person she had entrusted with her private space.
The incident has been reported to the Rabodi Police Station, with authorities investigating the app records and the suspect's background. The case serves as a reminder of the vulnerability that comes with inviting strangers into our homes through digital platforms, highlighting the need for increased safety measures in such interactions.
