A housewife named Jasmine Khanam lost everything after falling victim to the 'devil's breath' scam in Lohagara, Narail. The incident took place on Saturday (October 4) at Lohagara Bazar.
According to the victim, Jasmine Khanam, wife of Sheikh Moniruzzaman of Kundashi area of the municipality, went to Lohagara Bazar around 12 noon on Saturday to do some shopping.
At that time, two unknown persons told the victim Jasmine Khanam that they had brought chemicals to make various types of food, including bakery cakes. But the two strangers did not know which side of the bakery was.
The two strangers therefore requested the victim Jasmine to show the bakery's premises. At that time, Jasmine showed the two strangers the location of the bakery and set off for home.
At this time, the two strangers suddenly grabbed her hand again and said, "You are like my mother. Thank you." Then they cleverly took the eight-anna chain around Jasmine's neck, a two-anna locket, 1.5-anna earrings, whose current market value is Tk 75,000, and Tk 2,500 in the bag and fled.
Jasmine, the victim in this incident, filed a complaint with Lohagara Police Station on Saturday evening.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Lohagara Police Station Shariful Islam said in this regard, "We have received the complaint. Legal action will be taken after investigation."
