Mangalore, Sep 21: Several people who were cheated by a woman from the city staying in Bangalore barged into her sister's property in protest on Wednesday September 21 and demanded their money back. The woman, Suma, allegedly looted women from Bangalore's Malleshwaram Pipeline colony of several crores of rupees.

The women said that Suma had lured them with promises of good returns if they invested in flats and other assets. The women are all from ordinary backgrounds who work hard to earn and feed their family.
 
Suma also allegedly collected gold from some women assuring them of good return, and absconded with the loot. Shocked by this development, the women arrived in the city on Wednesday and headed to her sister’s house which she had mentioned as her address in Mangalore. It is also gathered that Suma's family members at first did not open the door.
 
Suma's house is located in Vivekananda colony near Kodikal here. Her father, mother and sister stay at the residence. Earlier also a few persons from Bangalore had come in search of Suma, it is gathered, and had been assured by her father that they would be given back the money.
 
Later, police intervened and interrogated the family. However, Suma is reportedly absconding. A case is yet to be registered in Sheshadripuram police station in Bangalore in this regard.

Urva police said that as the fraud was reported in Bangalore, no action can be initiated against Suma in Mangalore.
