Mangaluru, Aug 21: A gang of two persons, one of whom was wearing a burqa, approached a house at Mangalanagara, Konaje here on Monday August 20 morning, acting like being on a visit to invite people for a marriage function. The two illegally entered a house, threatened the lone woman living there, and escaped after robbing her of gold ornaments.
