MUMBAI: It may sound weird but it appears that in Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, the most loyal and honest Bagha has taken to thievery.

Yes, it so started one early morning when Jethalal (Dilip Joshi) is making tea and he receives an urgent call from Bagha asking him to come to his shop immediately. On reaching Gada Electronics’ godown, Bagha requests Jethalal to loan him five lakhs. When Bagha refuses to explain his unusual request, Jethalal does not give him the money. Bagha vows to get the money by hook or by crook.

What do you think of the soap Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah?

Late in the evening when Jethalal comes back to his shop, he finds it locked. Anxiously, he tries to inquire from his neighbors and one of them tells him that he had seen Bagha loading some cartons in a truck and leaving. Worried Jethalal breaks open the lock and finds his shop completely cleaned out. All the shelves are empty. Even money from his safe goes missing. Recalling his conversation with Bagha in the morning, he panics.

Has trustworthy Bagha taken to stealing? Was Bagha’s need for money so great that he decided to rob the entire shop?
