The KG Nagar police arrested a woman for lodging a false complaint that she was robbed of her gold chain by unidentified persons.
On Wednesday morning, Bhagyalakshmi had gone to her relative Shanthakumar’s house in KG Nagar, and left her gold chain in the bathroom. She went out thereafter.
Once she reached Allama Prabhu Road, she reportedly called Shanthakumar and told him that two men accosted her and robbed her of the gold chain.
Shanthakumar rushed to the spot, and took her to the police station to lodge a complaint.
When the police took her to the spot where she was supposedly robbed, her replies raised suspicions.
Meanwhile, a domestic help at Shanthakumar’s house found the gold chain in the bathroom and alerted him. The police then confronted Bhagyalakshmi, who admitted that her complaint was false. She was subsequently arrested. Further investigations are on.
