Luck runs out for this burglar

BANGALORE: A man posing as a burglar tried to loot a private finance company office in Mariapanapalya using a plastic gun and what he claimed to be a bomb tied to his waist.

Mohan (28) landed up at the office at around noon holding up his gun. For a while, he managed to fool people into believing that the agarbatti stacks tied to his waist was a bomb, and had around 35 customers obeying his orders.

Unfortunately for him, he clumsily dropped the gun which broke into two pieces much to the shock of people in the room.

Upon realising that they were being conned, employees gave him a good thrashing before handing him over to the police.
