In a perplexing case of alleged robbery, a 52-year-old businessman found himself the victim of a suspected honey-trap in Mumbai's Lokhandwala area. Police report that the incident unfolded when the man agreed to offer a ride to an unidentified woman he met in a lift after leaving a club in Malad.

While his friend declined the request for transportation, the businessman obliged, leading to his 15-gram gold chain being stolen during a conversation with the woman in his car. It was only after reaching his residence that he discovered the jewelry was missing.

The complaint filing was delayed due to the businessman's travel to Gujarat. Upon his return, an inquiry at the club led to the establishment of the woman's identity. Subsequently, a case was registered at Oshiwara police station. Investigations point towards a possible honey-trap modus operandi behind the theft.
