Hrishikesh Pandey decided to go on a trip down memory lane recently with his family. The group was on a sightseeing trip in the southern part of the city and decided to board an AC bus. And when they got down, the actor, who played inspector Sachin in CID, was shocked to see he had been robbed of his cash, cards, documents and other essential papers.

In a chat with indianexpress.com, Hrishikesh said, “It happened on June 5 and we took a bus from Colaba to visit a few places. While initially I was not supposed to join them, since everyone from my family was here, I jumped at the idea and left my car to board public transport. It was slightly crowded that day and I didn’t even realise when someone took out everything. I did reach the police station to file a report but when do you ever get these things back? However, I have blocked my cards and applied for duplicates, as I had to travel to my hometown soon.”

The actor has already blocked the cards but is worried about the identification documents that can be misused. A lot of people on social media have also been making fun of the matter saying how a ‘CID officer’ got looted. “Yes, it is very ironic. I was in disguise to avoid being mobbed. I am sure the robber didn’t know he was taking off my things. So clearly disguise doesn’t work for me (laughs). I am just thankful that they did not get a chance to use my cards and cause me further loss.”
