Hyderabad, February 18: In a desperate act to meet thedowry requirements ahead of her wedding, anMBA student along with her mother made a vain bid to rob a housewife of her gold chain at APIIC colony, Kushaiguda on Friday.

Kushaiguda police said that at around 11.30 am the mother-daughter duo - Rama Devi and Sharada - entered the residence of Kalpana, a housewife, in APIIC colony. Clad in burqas, they pushed Kalpana down and tried to snatch her gold chain.

"Kalpana managed to shout for help. The neighbours immediately came to her rescue and caught the two women," Kushaiguda inspector V Srikanth Goud told TOI.

In her confession, Sharada, a second year MBA student of Sai Sudheer College, Kushaiguda, said they had to pay a dowry of Rs one lakh to the bridegroom's family. Her wedding was scheduled for March 8.

"The duo hatched a plan to rob Kalpana as they knew she would be alone at home. They had kept tabs and found out that her husband left early and returned home late at night," police said.

Until a few months ago they used to reside in the vicinity of Kalpana's house and hence knew her movements. Presently, the accused are residents of Kamalapuri colony.
