In Ahmedabad, a 40-year-old laundryman fell victim to a conman disguised as an ascetic, resulting in a loss of Rs 3 lakh in cash and jewellery.

Such cases serve as a cautionary tale for the public to remain vigilant and skeptical of schemes that sound too good to be true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
