Gold rings were taken off by hypnotism

The robbers allegedly hypnotized the woman and asked her to tie the three gold rings on her hand in a white cloth. As soon as the woman did so, the fraudsters swapped the cloth and tied green grass in place of the real rings and gave it to the woman. They themselves fled from there with the real jewellery. When the woman regained consciousness and opened the cloth, she was shocked to see grass instead of gold inside.
