The accused are Hangala village residents Prasad and Bhagya. With their arrest, three cases are solved, said V Govindaraj, DSP, Nanjangud sub-division.
Shivamani of Moththa village was duped of her gold valuables on the pretext of providing Rs 2 lakh gold loan by the couple. The incident happened on January 25, and they were arrested the same evening, the DSP said, adding Prasad was recently out on bail in a cheating case.
Police said this is not the first time Prasad and Bhagya are cheating villagers in the name of a gold loan. Prasad had earlier worked in a gold firm offering loans on pledged valuables. As he knew all the process of the gold loan, he took advantage of his knowledge to cheat villagers, police said.
