This Woman Wore A Gold Mangalsutra So Big, The Cops Came Looking
You know how some people end up patenting a few styles, looks or accessories to their name, merely by donning it every day without fail? Just like Kangana with silk and cotton sarees, Jitendra with his classic ‘all white’ look and Bappi Lahiri with his iconic gold overload. So much so that every time we spot anyone wearing a tad bit too much gold, we go ahead to assume that he/she is related to the singer. Just like this woman, who after going viral for donning a 1 kg gold mangulsutra, big enough to give competition to Bappi Lahiri. Or so we thought.
A video of a woman in Maharashtra’s Bhiwandi has recently hit the internet and created quite a stir after she was spotted wearing a gold mangalsutra (necklace), that almost touched her knees. And how she was still standing straight, without being weighed down by the magnificent necklace, was beyond us.
Turns out, the video that soon came to the notice of the police, for they feared that endorsing so much gold so openly might land the woman in danger and they decided to look into the matter. Upon investigation, they found out that the husband of the woman named Bala Koli, and it was revealed how the mangalsutra was in fact a fake one, that only costed them 38,000 Rs.

A police officer who looked into the matter said, “As this video went viral, it came to my notice as well. Having so much gold and displaying it publicly is like inviting criminals. After ground research, we came to know about Bala Koli and called him to the police station. He told us that the gold mangalsutra was fake. He bought it from a jewellery shop and said it costs only Rs 38,000. We later visited the same shop from where he purchased the ornament. We verified it and found it to be fake.”
However even so, the cops urged the couple and public to not don such expensive or expensive-looking jewellery out and about, for it might entice criminals to snatch it, or worse – harm you for it. In the meantime, we are still getting over how real the gold mangalsutra really looked!
