In a shocking incident, a 37-year-old woman was robbed of twelve tolas of gold by four men in bikes. The robbery occured in Nerul, as the woman was leaving the bank after withdrawing the jewellery from her locker on Monday.

A report in The Hindu quotes the woman's husband as commented on the incident, stating, "My wife hired an auto after collecting her jewellery from the bank and headed towards Mannapuram Finance’s office in Sector 10.
