Puttur, 21 Aug 2015: A man who went to an astrologer seeking solace from a personal problem ended up losing his finger ring to the greedy astrologer.
It is said that a resident of Panaje named Sunil had been to a Kerala Astrologer named Krishna Prasad on August 16. The astrologer who was functioning from a commercial complex in Puttur had asked Sunil to give him his gold ring to perform some ritual. Sunil obliged, hoping that his problems would end.
The last thing the astrologer did was to slit open a lemon and place the gold ring in the lemon. After reciting some mantras, the astrologer had given the lemon to Sunil and asked to visit him after three days.
When the lime was opened on third day, the golden ring had disappeared. Panic-stricken Sunil rushed to the astrologer to inquire about the ring, for which the astrologer did not reply.
Sunil instantly filed a complaint against the astrologer KrishnaPrasad in Puttur police station.
After a police inquiry, the astrologer agreed of cheating Sunil.
