A woman lost 15 tolas of gold ornaments to an attention-diversion gang at Dilsukhnagar on Monday afternoon, the police said.
According to police, Sandhyalekha, a retired government employee came along with her sister Swarnalekha and two other relatives to an educational academy near Annapurna Kalyana Mandapam in a car. She kept a bag containing gold and silver ornaments in the car and asked Swarnalekha to sit inside while she went into the educational academy on some work. “ A stranger knocked on the window and pointed to eight Rs.10 currency notes lying on the road. As Swarnalekha got down to pick up the currency notes, the miscreant made away with the bag,” Saroornagar Detective Inspector K. Sunil said. The police said the family was carrying another Rs. 40 lakh too. Apparently, the offenders had no inkling about it.
