Online friendships due to technology therefore make sense given the many recent incidents where scams are taking place. A tenth grade girl became a thief for her online friends and stole 750 grams of gold from her home. This strange incident took place in Kerala. According to the police, a 15-year-old girl from Thiruvananthapuram is studying in class X.

A year before her, a man named Shibin was introduced on social media. So they became friends. Recently Shibin‌ said that his family was in financial trouble with the girl. The girl, who was devastated to hear of her friend's plight, stole 750 grams of gold from his house and gave it to him to help him. Shibin‌, who took the gold, along with his mother repaired his house with the money from selling them and hid the remaining Rs 10 lakh.

The girl's mother complained to the police that the theft had taken place as the gold that was supposed to be in the house was not found. The police who registered the case questioned the girl during the interrogation and she revealed the real matter. She said she gave Rs 750 grams of gold to her friend Shibin. Shibin was taken into custody and interrogated. The girl claimed to have given him only 270 grams of gold.

With this, the girl was questioned again .. It was revealed that another Instagram friend from Palakkad gave 40 grams of gold. The second man said he had blocked the girl since the gold was taken. Police are investigating the case as the details given by the girl are not relevant.
