Ahmedabad: A senior citizen fell prey to fraudsters’ trick and lost her gold ornaments and a mobile phone, all worth Rs 98,000. The Sarbarmati police have registered a case of cheating and breach of trust.
According to a complaint filed by Satuben Shah, 66, a resident of Gitanjali Flats, IOC Road, she was passing by D Cabin bus stand at 10.30am on March 10 when a man asked her for directions. Another man soon joined in and claimed that he was kicked out of his job and had thus stolen a bundle from the office containing Rs 2.5 lakh. He showed Shah the bundle that had a Rs 500 currency note at the top.
“The duo engaged Shah in a discussion and convinced her to remove her ornaments and keep the bundle,” said an investigator. “They left her promising to return soon. After waiting for a long time, Shah opened the bundle and found that there was only one note atop the bundle. Her gold ornaments and the phone were gone.”
In another case, Rasila Shah, 72, a resident of Simandhar Complex, Prabhat Chowk, has filed a complaint over the theft of Rs 50,000. In her complaint she says that she had taken a shared auto from Ankur Crossroads at 1.15pm to reach Prabhat Chowk. During the journey, one of her fellow passengers stole two gold bangles.
