Police nab woman from Maharashtra who eloped with lover & gold

Thane: A 44-year-old married woman and her 28-year-old neighbour who had eloped to Karnataka six years back after stealing a huge cache of gold from her marital home were arrested from Taloja, the police informed on Sunday. According to the police, the woman stayed with her husband and two children in a settlement of Balkum, Thane. She was in love with her young neighbour who stayed in an adjoining building and after continuing their relationship for a few years, they decided to elope in 2017 with around 55 tolas gold from the woman's home.
Accordingly, the husband approached the Kapurbawdi police station and registered a complaint against the duo. The police said they started search operations but failed to trace the duo as they had switched off their respective mobile phones to avoid detection. "The duo also got married in between and changed their names officially and applied for new identity cards. The couple stayed at various places Karnataka before settling down at Taloja. The man did some odd jobs for a living and the couple largely survived on the money sourced from selling the gold," informed police.
