Gold ornaments worth ₹3.84 lakh stolen
A thief, who posed as a hearing impaired salesman, decamped with gold ornaments estimated to be worth ₹3.84 lakh from a residence in Anant Vasahat on Saturday morning.
A first information report (FIR) has been lodged by Kalpana Krishna Srikhande (60), a resident of Vikhroli. Srikhande had come to Anant Vasahat to visit her mother. Srikhande had bought gold jewellery and kept in a bag in one of the two rooms in the house. At that time, an unidentified person entered the house with a pamphlet posing as a hearing impaired salesman. The suspect, then, distracted Srikhande’s husband by talking to him and later decamped with the booty, according to the complaint.
