As per the complainant, Ali had come to her shop on May 21 afternoon and on the pretext of buying dry fruits, he began conversing with her. He told her that he owns a jewellery store and expressed interest in the intricate design of the chain she was wearing. Ali asked her if he could take photos of the same so he would make a similar design for his customers. Using diversionary tactics, he sneaked away with the chain.
