The suspect informed Shivarkar that he wanted to photograph the latter’s gold chain, as he wanted to get a similar one made for his sister’s wedding.

“The duo requested Tambolkar to take away the ring so they could have a greater glance. He did not suspect them and handed over the ring. They diverted his attention and sped away with the chain. Tambolkar registered an FIR, but he may just not provide their details, like names or automobile registration number,” Gheware added.
