A Visakhapatnam man bought a Rs 1.16 lakh silver locket from a Hyderabad jewellery shop after being told it had been energised through Vedic rituals and would bring prosperity. Within weeks, he said his business had collapsed, his health had declined, and his life had turned upside down. A consumer commission has now ruled that the shop used religious rituals as a sales trap, and ordered it to pay up.
