What she shared as a window into her lifestyle may have functioned, for the burglars, as reconnaissance. The case has prompted a wider caution- displaying wealth and home layouts on social media carries risks that extend well beyond the screen.

The intruders entered around 2 am while the family slept, locked them inside a room, and methodically looted gold and silver jewellery, cash and other valuables estimated at Rs 8 to 10 lakh before fleeing. They also knocked CCTV cameras out of position, apparently using a stick, to ensure their faces were not captured on camera.
The family discovered what had happened only around 4 am, when they woke to find themselves locked in. According to the reports, relatives were called and came to free them. The incident came to light only when Gurjar filed a complaint at Narwar police station, and Shivpuri's Additional Superintendent of Police Sanjiv Mule confirmed that a case has been registered.

The role of social media is also being closely examined. Gurjar, who has over one lakh followers, had recently posted videos showing her house, jewellery, cash and lifestyle. In one video, she reportedly recorded different parts of her home, from the entrance to the rooms. In another, she placed valuables, including jewellery and cash, on a table and filmed them.
Police sources believe the burglars may have watched these videos and used them to plan the crime. The videos may have given them an idea of the house layout, the presence of valuables and possibly even security arrangements.
In several of her recent videos, Rachna Gurjar has demanded swift police action and said that she'll go the President to seek justice if the need arises.
