A 58-year-old woman from Kolhapur, who was staying with a close acquaintance in the city, has lodged a complaint against him for stealing her debit card and bank details and withdrawing cash to the tune of Rs 8.63 lakh.

The woman, Laxmi Raherkar, claims she is appalled that the person she was a guardian to – she sponsored his education and helped set up his business - would stab her in the back.
