Vaidya was the second runner-up in the first season of the reality show Indian Idol.
The incident came to light when Vaidyas after returning from Europe yesterday discovered Rs 25,000 in cash and imitated jewellery worth Rs 15,000 missing from the cupboard at their house located in Samarth Angan building in suburban Andheri, they said.
The Vaidyas were in Europe from June 1 and June 12 and the crime took place in that period, police said.
What baffles police is while main door of the house is intact but the bedroom door and the cupboard were found damaged by the robbers.
"The robbers seemed to have opened the door using duplicate keys. The crime took place between June 1 and 12 and we are checking the CCTV footages in the building premises," an investigating officer said.
