Bengaluru: The gang thinks it’s a surefire way to make money with modus operandi involving the police.
The plan is simple: one member will steal gold ornaments, promise them with loan companies and raise lakh rupees.
Meanwhile, others will file a complaint and also warn the police about people who promise gold.
While the police will arrest the thief and laugh at after resolving crime, the gang will not only regain their jewelry but can also maintain the loan amount.
But the ambitious plan went kaput when the police examined the ornaments to recover thoroughly and ask questions.

Asha’s father Raviprakash told his family police used to bring Dewi Lakshmi with ornaments during the Varamahalakshmi festival and would wear the same only after the puja in the temple in Mysore.
Theft has occurred when they are on our way to the temple.
