A family of five tried to commit fraud with gold ornaments that was inspired by the movie Drishyam but the police caught them right on time.
People tend to get inspired by movies all the time and sometimes try to change their lives or actions in accordance with it. But a family from Bengaluru took some wrong inspiration that landed them in trouble.
A family of five got inspired by the movie Drishyam a little too much. For all those who don¡¯t know about Drishyam, it is a movie where every single member of a family says the same story again and again and everyone tends to believe that it is true. The family eventually gets away with the crime in the movie.

This family of five from Anekal committed a crime like this along with their two close aids. They got away with it in their first attempt and celebrated. But lady luck wasn¡¯t by their side the second time, and they were caught. 55-year-old Raviprakash, the head of the family, led the plot.
His 30-year-old son Mithun Kumar, daughter-in-law Sangeetha, daughter Asha and son-in-law Nallu Charan joined hands in executing the master plan. Mithun Kumar¡¯s driver Deepak and friend Asma played along.

A couple of months ago, this group accumulated all the gold in the house and mortgaged it with a pawnbroker in Yeshwantpur. After that, they filed a complaint with the police saying they have been robbed of the gold. Unaware of this plan, the police searched everywhere and cracked the case. So the family got back the gold and the money that they got from the pawnbroker through a friend.
After the success, they went in for the second time. This time, they got together 1,250 grams of gold.

The family then narrated the minute by minute story to the police. On interrogation, Deepak gave away locations of pawnbrokers where he had mortgaged the jewellery. Police were able to recover around 500 grams of gold. But they started smelling something fishy after they saw the jewellery. After the family identified the jewellery as their own, the police grew suspicious as they felt some jewellery designs were typical to a Muslim household. Further, into the investigation, the dubious plan was revealed and the family was arrested.
