Nagpur: Nagpur: A car-borne young couple, hailing from Gondia, was relieved of cash and gold ornaments collectively valued at Rs 2.53 lakh by a trickster. Lack of commonsense too facilitated the duping of the husband-wife duo.
The victims, Prerna Mohit Agrawal (25), native of Asamgaon Road, Deori, District Gondia, along with husband had come to Nagpur in their car (MH-35/P 4626) around 5 pm on Friday. The Agrawal couple runs a firm named Mohit Trading at their native place.
After arriving in Nagpur, Prerna and her husband stopped at Shree Medical Stores, near Big Bazaar, Wardha Road for purchasing medicines. While Mohit went to the medicine shop, Prerna was seating in the car. At the same time, an unidentified man (around 40 years) approached Prerna and told her that some money has fallen down.
