The past month has been a nightmare of sorts for the residents of Rande talao area of Virar. A woman, who appears to be mentally challenged, has not only been robbing them of their wealth, but also of their mental peace. However, their repeated requests to the police to arrest her fell on deaf ears, as every time they caught hold of the woman and handed her over to the cops, she would be back in action the next day. Left with no other option, on Saturday night just when the cops were about to release the woman once again, the locals gathered outside the police station and created a ruckus to get her arrested.
