Mysuru: Miscreants have stolen a gold chain and a purse containing cash from a woman, who was boarding the bus atop Chamundi Hill on the last Ashada Friday.

The woman, who lost her eight grams gold earrings, five grams finger ring, 15 grams gold chain and a purse with Rs.4,000 cash, is Sumalatha.

Sumalatha, who had been to Chamundeshwari Temple along with her sister and daughter Kumari, had kept her gold ornaments and cash in a small purse and kept it in her vanity bag before having the darshan of the Goddess.

At about 2 pm, they proceeded to the bus stand atop the hill and were boarding the bus in a rush when miscreants stole the purse containing valuables and cash, according to Sumalatha, who has lodged a complaint at KR Police Station.

It may be recalled that during Chamundeshwari Vardanthi celebrations, miscreants had yanked off a 35 grams gold chain of one Chamamma atop the hill and on the third Ashada Friday, miscreants had snatched a 32 grams gold chain of one Savithramma at the foot of Chamundi Hill.

The victims have lodged complaints in this regard at the jurisdictional KR Police Station.
