BENGALURU: A 45-year-old woman went missing after she allegedly cheated 40 people of Rs 3 crore by getting them to deposit their money in her co-operative society by promising high interest. She was arrested last week after absconding for 10 months.
Lakshmi Vani alias Vani, a resident of Kengeri, was a director of the cooperative society. However, she was found working as a cook at a kalyana mantap near Kengeri for a daily wage of Rs 800 at the time of her arrest. Her husband, who separated from her and is a fellow accused, is at large.
