Midway, she was accosted by the three conmen who told her that they are police officers and that she should keep her gold bangles in her bag as robbing takes place in the area. Believing the conmen’s scary tactics, Sultana Bi removed her gold bangles worth Rs 37,000 and was keeping them in her bag. At the same time, the three bogus police officers, on the pretext of helping her, took the gold stuff from her hands and showed as if the bangles are being kept in her bag.
