# Officer recalls unsolved brothel ring theft, woman was accident victim 2026-08-07T12:38:17+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Sub-Inspector Thulasidas, now serving in Pathanamthitta, recalls an unusual unsolved case from his time in Chengannur. Years ago, he accidentally injured a young beautician while driving a police jeep. Five years later, the same woman appeared at his station accused of stealing a gemstone-studded gold ring from a brothel. She was pregnant and denied the theft. The excise officer who lost the ring refused to file a formal complaint, fearing exposure. Thulasidas found no evidence and ended the informal inquiry. The ring was never recovered, and the woman left. He still does not know if she took it. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: brothel, human interest, Kerala, missing ring, police, unsolved case Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/officer-recalls-unsolved-brothel-ring-theft-woman-was-accident-victim/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
