3 tolas of chain
According to a trader Mohammed Yunus Mohammed Hussain (Rohilla Galli), he had given cash and a gold chain weighing 2.8 grams to his relative Mirza Baig Laddu Baig (Times Colony). It was given with the hope that the relative will maintain the trust by returning them on demand. However, Mirza mortgaged the chain with a financial company, situated at Nirala Bazaar.
Later, when Mohammed Yunus demanded the chain and cash, Mirza refused to return them. Instead, he threatened him, stated the complainant.
