Ravi Kasana and his wife's house in Melbourne's Deer Park was robbed on Christmas.

Mr. Kasana moved to Melbourne a year ago from Adelaide and was celebrating a reunion with his friends in Melbourne over the Christmas holidays when his house was struck.

"My friends had come from Adelaide and we had all gone to the Great Ocean Road drive on Christmas. When we returned on Sunday night, my entire house was upside down," Mr. Kasana told SBS Hindi.

His walk-in wardrobe was entirely messed up, clothes were lying on the floor and other areas of the house too were ruffled.

One of his friends, who recently bought a car and had parked it in Melbourne while the friends went for the Christmas day outing, had his car keys stolen.

Kasana so far claims that along with his friend's car keys, his two iPads, a laptop and his as well as his guests' watches were stolen during this house burglary.

'Our house keys and the keys of our second car too were missing,' a worried Mr. Kasana told SBS Hindi.

The family called police on Sunday night at 10.30pm but the police could not send someone immediately, Kasana claims.

Kasana, his family and friends then spent the night at a friend's house afraid that the robbers might strike again as they had the house keys.

In a surprising turn of events, a stranger turned up the same night and told Mr. Kasana that he had found their house keys and the car keys wrapped in a t-shirt in his front yard.

The Police visited Kasana's robbed residence on Monday morning. "The forensic team was here and they looked for fingerprints," he shared.
