Two women duped an elderly woman of a gold necklace worth Rs 45,000 on the promise of multiplying her gold. The victim was identified as Shantabai Kisan Kamble (65), a resident of Solapur Bazaar in Camp, Pune.

According to a report in Hindustan Times, the incident took place when the woman was returning from the Command hospital in an auto-rickshaw.

In her complaint to the police, she said that she was walking home from near the Pulgate bus stop when she saw the two women with scarves.
