Bengaluru woman incurs loss of over Rs 4 lakh in online ludo game, leaves home with 2 children

Dejected by the loss of over Rs 4 lakh while playing an online Ludo game, a 26-year-old Bengaluru homemaker reportedly left her house along with her two children by leaving behind an apology letter for her husband. One child is six years old, while the other is barely one.

The police said the woman got addicted to online gaming. A year ago, she lost Rs 50,000 and pledged gold ornaments worth Rs 1.25 lakh to continue playing. But she lost money again. Later, she took a loan of Rs 1.75 lakh from her relatives without the knowledge of her husband.

When her husband came to know about it, she promised that it would not happen again. But on July 19, the woman pledged gold ornaments again and in lieu took Rs 1.20 lakh to play the online ludo game. The husband then informed the parents of his wife and advised her not to play.
