Mumbai: Model-turned-actress, Nikita Dutta, was robbed of her iPhone while she was on an evening walk on Monday. The incident occurred at around 7.30 pm hardly a few minutes after Nikita Dutta stepped out of her Bandra (W) home and was walking towards Pali Hill when two men on a motorcycle approached her and the pillion rider snatched away with the mobile worth Rs. 40,000.

Dutta even chased the thieves but in vain. Bandra police registered a case under sections for common intention and theft of the IPC against the two unidentified persons. A team has been formed to track the accused with the help of CCTV footage they have collected on the route that motorcycle-borne thieves have taken to speed away.

The incident has shaken Dutta who took to social media and posted the trauma. She posted: “Sharing a torrid experience I had yesterday which was very dramatic and has given me a rough 24 hours. I was walking on the 14th road in Bandra around 7:45 pm. Two men came on a bike from behind, tapped me on my head which suddenly disoriented me for a moment and the pillion rider snatched my phone from my hand. They were on the move when they did this. Before I could react they fled away. For almost 3-4 seconds I was in absolute shock as I didn’t register what just happened.”

She concluded her post, “I hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else and no one has to experience losing their hard-earned money like this without any fault of theirs.”
