A 52-year-old woman was robbed of her 1.5 tola mangalsutra by thieves who posed as asking for an address. The incident took place on Thursday at 9 pm in Padegaon’s Jaybharat Housing Society.
Rukhmini Kamble, visiting her sister in Padegaon from Dastapur, Dharashiv, was waiting near the apartment gate when a young man approached her.

As she responded, the man swiftly snatched her mangalsutra and ran.
