The police said that at about 1.30 p.m. two men came to the house of Parvathi in Deepanjalinagar and introduced themselves as gold ornament polishers. Parvathi gave them four gold bangles and a chain for polishing. The two men polished the ornaments and returned them to her. After they left, Parvathi realised that the two men had given her brass ornaments instead of her gold bangles and chain, the police said. The Byatarayanapura Police have registered a case.
