Mysuru: There is an old adage that says “until there are people who get conned, there will be people to con.” This statement was once again proved right yesterday when two conmen managed to enter a house in the guise of officials from the Mysuru City Corporation (MCC). Not only they hoodwinked the house owner and pretended to take measurements of their house but also managed to steal gold and cash kept safe in drawers and almirahs.
The incident occurred yesterday in broad daylight in Kuvempunagar N-Block, an area that is full of people and vehicles even during the night. A house on the KSRTC Depot Road (in front of Hori Subbegowda Bus Stop) where K.G. Leeladevi, wife of late K.V. Jayadevappa, was staying along with her maid Mangalamma was the target of criminals.
