Kalahandi (Odisha): In a video that has gone viral on social media, an elderly woman can be seen being conned by a group of men, who took gold ornaments worth Rs. 2 lakh from the old lady and escaped with it, in Kalahandi district of Odisha on Friday.
The incident took place in Bhawanipatna area of the district.
The alleged conmen stopped Ramkali Agrawal, who was on her way back home after visiting a temple and introduced themselves as government officials.
The men told her that the government had enacted a new law which forbids people from wearing gold ornaments in public places and asked her to put the ornaments in a small bag before heading home.
At first, the lady avoided them, but when the three men intimidated her she took off her jewellery and put them in a bag.
