MP YouTuber robbed of cash, valuables worth Rs 8 lakh days after flaunting jewellery online

BHOPAL: Just two days after she flaunted her jewellery on social media, a village-based YouTuber from Madhya Pradesh’s Shivpuri district was robbed of cash and valuables worth nearly Rs 8 lakh after burglars broke into her house late Friday night. The intruders also stole a crate of energy drinks, police said.

The burglary took place at Mohani Khyavda village under Narwar police station limits, where social media influencer Rachna Gurjar lives with her family. Investigators are probing whether her online posts helped the accused track her possessions, though police said no direct link has been confirmed so far.

Rachna, known for posting videos of gold and silver jewellery, luxury home decor and her rural lifestyle, had recently shared visuals of her ornaments online, locals said.

According to the complaint, the burglars entered after cutting the boundary wire fencing. They bolted the bedroom door of Rachna and her husband, Udal Singh Gurjar, from outside while the couple slept. The intruders also reportedly tilted CCTV cameras upward before breaking open cupboards and locks inside the house.

Cash worth Rs 1.91 lakh, a gold mangalsutra, four gold rings, a silver kardhani (waist belt) and other valuables were stolen. The accused also took away a crate of energy drink kept at the house. The total value of stolen items is estimated at Rs 7-8 lakh.

The theft came to light around 4am when Rachna woke up to drink water and found the bedroom locked from outside. After alerting family members, the couple discovered broken cupboards and missing valuables.
Police teams have reached the spot and are scanning CCTV footage from nearby areas to identify the accused.
