We are not taking any action against the woman for this hoax, but we have given her a warning.”Sandhya had told the police that a masked stranger in her room had demanded jewellery from her at knife point, and made off with four bangles, a pair of earrings, a ring and Rs 3,000.

On December 9, she planned the hoax, hid her gold jewellery and called her husband, informing him about the ‘robbery’. He rushed home and informed the police. An investigating officer said, “On reaching the spot , we did not find any evidence of forcible entry. So, we suspected that it was an inside job. But Sandhya was sure no one known to her had come to her room. We found something fishy about the case from day one. We did not want to immediately question the family members as we knew they would be traumatised. When we subjected Sandhya to an inquiry, she spilled the beans.”The police said the couple had been counselled to solve their differences.
