BENGALURU: In a curious case, a woman has lodged a complaint of theft against her own daughter, suspecting that she had stolen 1 kg of gold from the house and given it to her lover. The Amruthahalli police have arrested Deepti (24) and Madan (27), who had pledged the stolen gold ornaments.
Deepti had earlier been married and divorced. She lived with her mother at Jakkur Layout in Amruthahalli. Madan is married and has two children. He works as an instructor at a driving school. Deepti fell in love with him when she was taking driving lessons at the driving school.
In order not to raise suspicion, Deepti had replaced the gold ornaments with fake gold. When the mother got suspicious, she questioned Deepti as only the mother-daugher duo lived in the house. She then lodged a complaint with the police against the daughter. The love angle came to light during questioning by the police.
The stolen gold had been pledged with Muthoot Gold Loan and Mannapuram Gold finance companies and splurged the money. The Amruthahalli police have recovered the gold and further investigations are on.
