A facial worth 3 tolas of gold

Boduppal (Hyderabad): In a incident indicative of the ingenious ways the thieves are adopting, a person posed as beautician and got employed in a beauty parlour.

One fine morning, she did facial to the parlour owner herself and relieved her of her mangal sutra weighing 3 tolas.

The incident occurred in Mediapalli near Uppal. Three days ago, Sandhya (30) came to Swapna, who owns Kangana Beauty Parlour in Medipally, seeking for job. Two days after joining the job, Sandhya offered to give a facial massage to Swapna.

As she was doing facial, Sandhya told Swapna that her mangal sutra was coming in the way of applying face pack. An unsuspecting Swapna removed her mangal sutra and kept it on the table.

After applying face pack, Sandhya placed cucumber slices on Swapna's eyes and ran away with the mangal sutra.

Swapna realised that she was duped only after she found that Sandhya had ran away. She lodged a complaint with the Uppal Police, who are investigating.
