A 45-year-old home-alone woman in Banashankari was attacked and robbed of her mangalya chain by a man who approached her on the pretext of renting her house. The woman managed to save her rolled gold chain, but the assailant escaped with eight grams of gold beads. The incident occurred when the woman showed the miscreant around the house and he locked the door from inside, threatening her with a dagger.
