Mandya: Out of fear of being stolen by the thieves, a woman in Mandya had hid her gold ornaments in a ragi sack. But unaware of this, her husband sold the grains to a broker who then sold the same to a rice mill owner who traced the gold and promptly returned them to the woman. Now the husband has advised his wife to keep the ornaments inside a shelf.
The incident was reported from Kallinathapura in Nagamangala taluk where Kallegowda had sold his ragi to a broker unaware that his wife, Lakshmamma, had used it as a safe place to keep her jewellery. She had concealed the gold in the sack as she felt that thieves would not search the millet sacks and didn’t even inform her husband about this.
