On Friday, the Borivali police apprehended two thieves who had allegedly cheated a 72-year-old devotee of a Jain temple by deceitfully taking her gold ornaments.

The complainant, aged 72 years, was on her way to perform a puja at a Jain temple when two unknown individuals approached her. They engaged her in conversation, informing her that they also intended to visit the temple and make a donation. They convinced the complainant to take off her 40-gram gold bangles to handle the money. Subsequently, they duped her of the gold bangles and fled. The complainant realized the theft and promptly filed a complaint on September 24, as reported by an officer from the Borivali police station.
