Jewellery and cash worth Rs.500,000 ($11,000) have been reported stolen from superstar Shah Rukh Khan's house here following which police are questioning his domestic employees.

Among those questioned are maidservants, drivers and others responsible for maintaining 'Mannat', the posh bungalow in Bandra Bandstand where the actor lives. Police refused to say if any of them was suspected for the robbery.

Police say jewellery and cash worth nearly Rs.500,000 have been stolen between Tuesday and Wednesday. Police refused to divulge further details but said the case was filed Wednesday morning.

Police suspect the burglary to be an inside job since the actor has hired private security agencies to guard his house. 'Mannat' is a major landmark due to its impressive façade, which draws a number of bystanders.

Police earlier told reporters that the valuables did not belong to the Khans but to some visitors who were staying overnight.
