Udupi, Mar 23: Robbers posing as CBI officers looted gold valuables worth Rs 1,20,000 from a woman near Light House beach road in Kaup here on Friday March 23.
The incident took place when the victim Pushpa Nayak was walking towards Diana junction from old post office at around 12.35 pm.
As soon as Pushpa Nayak reached Gomatha shop, an unknown person approached her from behind and claimed himself a CBI officer and said that his colleagues were around. Soon, two other persons came in a bike and asked her to remove her valuables and put them in her bag for safety.
Believing their words, the lady removed her gold to put it in her bag. The imposters offered to help the gold in putting the gold in her bag to which she agreed. Later the three of them left in a bike towards Mitra junction.
However, when she checked her bag after they left, she realized that she had been cheated and that the robbers had made away with her gold. The booty consisted of a chain weighing 3 sovereigns and two bangles weighing 2 sovereigns, altogether worth Rs 1,20,000.
A case has been registered in the Udupi city police station.
