“Hypno-crimes on the rise”
Oh no.
Police officials admit they?ve seen an increase in the number of robberies that involve hypnosis in the past year.
Says Tukaram Chavan, additional commissioner of police, north region, ?I have heard about many cases of this kind. We have caught a few criminals who have robbed old women of gold ornaments, but there are a few cases that we haven?t been able to crack, as those thieves don?t have a previous record. Also, victims have difficulty identifying them.?
He adds, ?Robbers use mind-control techniques as they are easy to execute and don?t involve weapons. The returns, too, are high.?
