Another wedding celebration turned gloomy as the wedding crasher gang made away with cash, gold jewellery and a mobile phone amounting to Rs 7 lakh from a wedding hall in Virar. The gang members were well-dressed and blended with the crowd, ensuring no one would suspect them. The entire incident was captured on CCTV cameras at the venue.
According to the police, the Incident occurred last week at Atmaram Park marriage hall in Virar East. “They kept track of the bag containing the cash and gold jewellery by following the bride’s parents around the venue. Before lunch, they managed to steal the bag containing the cash, gold and a mobile phone.” Upon realising that the bag was missing, the family checked the CCTV camera footage and found that two men had stolen the bag. The Virar police were then informed and an FIR was registered.
