My laptop got stolen a few hours ago. It had all my data including bitcoin too.
Fortunately I had the seeds with me and I have now installed Electrum on my work machine and recovered the wallet with those keys.
It also asked for a password and I have gone with a new one. The wallet is still Synchronizing.

Now my question is, are my bitcoins safe now? Do I need to do anything else? The stolen laptop has the electrum in it, what else should I do to make sure that my bitcoins are secure?
Unless you have not saved your seed or password in any folder of your wallet,your bitcoins are safe enough now.But what is the problem is that electrum wallet opens automatically when it is opened and it does not ask for seed.But without your password,he could not send your bitcoins away.So,better download a new wallet and transfer your bitcoins from old wallet to the new one.
