A woman from Navi Mumbai was recently robbed of ornaments worth Rs 45,000 at the venue of her cousin's engagement ceremony at a banquet hall in Thane. They were surprised to learn that the thief was a gatecrasher, who had entered the premises with another person.

The incident took place on January 20 when Kalamboli resident Swati Shukla, 31, was at Gloria Banquet Hall in Thane. Shukla left her bag containing the ornaments on a chair next to her relative when she went to eat.
