Fake 'tenants' snatch gold chain of RTO inspector's wife
LUCKNOW, Sept. 28 -- Two youths allegedly posing as prospective tenants robbed an RTO inspector's wife of her gold chain in Jankipuram on Wednesday afternoon.

The incident took place around 3pm on September 23 when Shashi Singh, wife of RTO inspector Dhairendra Singh and a resident of Sita Vihar Colony, was allegedly approached by the two youths.
According to the complaint, the duo asked about a house available for rent and, during the interaction, allegedly snatched the gold chain from her neck before escaping.
Police said an FIR was registered at Jankipuram police station based on the written complaint.
