Unidentified accused stole handbag of the mother of bride-to-be during a ring ceremony at a banquet hall at Gill Road last week. The bag contained ₹1.5 lakh, a gold mangal sutra, earrings and an iPhone.
The Shimlapuri police have registered an FIR and initiated investigation. Complainant Vikas Saggar of South City said his family organised a ring ceremony for her daughter at a banquet hall at Gill Road on November 29. During the function, his wife Monika Saggar placed her handbag on a chair near the stage. When she was busy performing the rituals and attending the guests, someone took the bag away.
