1. The only option left before you and also the Standard Operating Procedure in such cases is to lodge a police complaint.

Dear Client,

I deeply sympathize with your situation regarding the loss of your valuable gold jewellery, and I understand how distressing this must be for you and your family. In Indian law there is a provision which allows the person to complain to the police even after so much delay. For theft, you should file an FIR under Section 303 of BNS Act. I think it is wise to file a complaint at both Bangalore and at your village in Andhra Pradesh since the theft may have taken place at either of these two places. It is usually accepted by the police especially bearing in mind that a lot of times one can give health issues as the cause of a delay in reporting the incident. Also, be sure to give information regarding the people who had access to the house, such as, the maids, the driver among others. You will get the police involved depending on the information you pass to them. Despite the fact that it has been five months now, it is vital to make the report at the earliest stage possible in order to increase the possibility of the recovery or else investigation.

I hope this explanation meets your needs precisely. If you need any further assistance from our side, do not hesitate to contact us again.
