Chandigarh woman duped of gold jewellery

Chandigarh, November 9

Two fraudsters, including a woman, allegedly duped a 72-year-old woman of her jewellery in Sector 49.

Complainant Sarla Kumari Angra, a resident of Sector 49, was returning from a temple on November 6 when a man, aged around 35, approached her near the Pushpak society on the pretext of asking for an address.

Soon, a woman, who seemed to be around 60, approached the victim. The fraudsters engaged the victim in a conversation and convinced her to remove her gold jewellery.

She reported that the suspects wrapped her jewellery in a piece of cloth and asked her to open the cloth only after reaching home. The victim, on opening the cloth, found that it contained iron bangles.

She said they took her gold jewellery, including bangles, a ring, a chain, a diamond pendant and earrings.

She approached the police on November 8 following which a case was registered at the Sector 49 police station. — TNS
