Two criminals hypnotized a woman in Jaipur and forced her to remove her gold ring and nose pin before fleeing. Police are searching based on CCTV footage.
A woman was hypnotized and robbed of her gold jewelry by two criminals in Jaipur on Friday afternoon, police said.
The incident occurred around 1:45 PM when Gayatri Devi, daughter-in-law of retired Tehsildar Mewaram, had left her home in Awadhpuri, Mahesh Nagar, to pick up her children from school.
Two young men stopped her on the way under the pretext of asking for an address. During the conversation, they hypnotized her by talking about receiving God's blessings. Following the criminals' instructions, Gayatri removed the gold ring worn on her hand and the gold nose pin. The criminals then asked her to walk 10-15 steps without looking back and fled with the jewelry.
After some time, Gayatri realized what had happened and informed her family. Mahesh Nagar police station officials reached the spot and examined CCTV footage from the crime scene.
