A gang comprising a 20-year-old woman and three girls has been apprehended for stealing from devotees visiting Lalbaugcha Raja and Siddhivinayak temple. The woman, Rani Salunke, was arrested by the Shivaji Park police, and they successfully recovered a stolen gold chain from her. Her three accomplices were sent to a juvenile home as they were minors.
What has left the police concerned is that this incident appears to be just the tip of the iceberg. Authorities have revealed that there are numerous small gangs, which include women, who travel from Gujarat with the sole purpose of stealing valuables from devotees.
