Godwoman Detained for Duping Pune Techie of ₹14 Crore for Healing
Imagine a person who says they have special powers to make sick people better.
A dad whose two daughters were very sick believed this person, who called herself a 'godwoman'.
The godwoman told the dad that to make his daughters healthy, he needed to sell his house in another country, his house in Pune, and some farm land.
The dad did what she said and gave her almost 14 crore rupees.
Sadly, his daughters didn't get better.
Because they didn't get better, the dad realized he might have been tricked and told the police.
The police are now investigating and have taken the godwoman and two other people into custody.
