A 45-year-old woman, Jyothi, tragically passed away in Huskuru village, Karnataka, after being attacked by miscreants who sprayed a chemical on her and stole her jewelry. The incident took place early in the morning as she was sweeping outside her house. The attackers snatched her gold mangalsutra and earrings, sprayed a substance on her face, and fled the scene.
