K. Santosh lodged a report against his wife Manali Kulkarni, 34, at the police station in Pune, North India, accusing her of stealing cash, gold and silver ornaments and chequebooks worth Rs3.52 lakh (RM20,700).
Santosh had no clue about the theft until he got a call from the police station which told him that an engineer had lodged a report against his wife and six others.
Police told Santosh that Manali and her accomplices had cheated the engineer of Rs10.72 lakh (RM63,058) by promising to help him get a loan to open a restaurant.
He got suspicious and immediately checked his house only to find that all the valuables were missing.
It was Manali’s second marriage and she had been arrested.
