Puttur, Jun 14: In a bizarre incident, a man disguised as a burkha-clad woman, looted a lady from Mysore of her money and jewels.
Janaki along with her family was commuting in a government bus to go to her relative Leeladhar’s house in Kadaba.
The bus was crowded due to the weekly market rush in Puttur. The burkha-clad man stole Rs 25,000 cash and 5 pawan gold. Moreover, he also attempted to snatch a chain from her neck. As this was noticed by co-passengers, the man got down from the bus in Kodimbady and absconded. While he was running, the veil of the burkha moved and the man was exposed.
Janaki who lost her belongings is yet to lodge a complaint against the thief.
