The Mumbai police are subjecting firms that supply security personnel to more intense scrutiny after Prabhat Tripathi (22), a security guard, robbed film producer Sajid Nadiadwala at gunpoint yesterday.

Tripathi allegedly barged into the sixth floor apartment of Nadiadwala in Versova and robbed Rs 8 lakh in cash and gold worth Rs 40 lakh after his wife Barkha answered the doorbell at 3 am. Tripathi, who was working for Tiger Securities, Oshiwara, owned by Gurmeet Singh Shera, Salman Khan's bodyguard, used to live and work at Nadiadwala's office. Shera will be required to give proof that he has procured all mandatory licences, and undertaken the character verification of the guard.

According to DCP (Licencing) Vijaysingh Jadhav, "It is mandatory under Section 4 of Private Securities Agencies (Regulation) Act 2005 to register themselves, failing which the proprietor can be either sent to one-year imprisonment and/or fine of Rs 25,000. We have asked the divisional ACP to tighten checks on security firms and employees."
