Gang sprays ‘sanitizer’ on woman, decamps with gold bangles

Lucknow, Feb 1 : In a bizarre incident, two criminals sprayed a chemical, purportedly a sanitizer, on a woman and fled with her gold bangles.
The incident took place on Sunday evening in Thakurganj police station area of the state capital Lucknow.
The victim identified as 39-year-old Vaishali Kapoor in her complaint to the police said she was alone when the doorbell of her house rang, and saw two men at the gate when she opened the door.
The two miscreants told Vaishali that they had come to deliver a parcel sent for her husband Amit and asked her to collect it on his behalf.
Not suspecting anything, Vaishali stepped out and went to the gate to collect the parcel, when one of the criminals asked her to get her hands sanitized citing Covid-19 protocol.
He took out a bottle and sprayed some chemical on her hands and in the air, following which Vaishali fell unconscious.
