Senior citizen robbed of jewellery worth Rs 2 lakh in Mumbai

A 69-year-old senior citizen, Dharma Shankar Nandgankar who had come to Ulhasnagar for treatment with her daughter-in-law, was conned of Rs2 lakh near the railway station.

The victim, a resident of Titwala, cannot recollect the incident as all the accused confused her so much that when they were removing rings from her hand, she did not utter a single word.

According to the complainant, he had gone to his family doctor for routine check up on June 19 around 12.30pm. After the treatment he was returning home with his daughetr in law. On reaching station, he realised he had some work with his friend and asked his daughter-in-law to leave and that he would come later.

Immediately, someone who was walking next to him, pushed him and asked to walk properly. That accused alerted others and all of them gathered and started confusing the victim. They removed his gold chain, but the victim kept quiet. Later, he realised that he was robbed.

After the incident, the victim called up his daughter-in-law and lodged a complaint at Ulhasnagar police station.

An official from Ulhasnagar police station said, "We have registered a fraud case and are on a lookout for the culprits. We will call the victim to get the sketch of the accused done."

meanwhile, a case has been registered against the three culprits under section 420 (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property) of the Indian Penal Code.
