| Broad daylight decoity at Gandhi Nagar; cash, jewellery looted | | | EARLY TIMES REPORT
JAMMU, Oct 21: In a broad daylight decoity, two persons today entered a house at Gandhi Nagar in the guise of PDD meter readers and robbed the family of cash and jewellery worth lakhs of rupees.
The incident occurred at about 9.15 am when two persons entered the house of Ravi Gupta, son of Ishar Das Gupta, at Patel Nagar, Last Morh, Gandhi Nagar, and took the reading from electric meter at the entrance.
The duo then told the family that there existed a fault in the electric circuit. To find out the fault, they went to all the rooms in the house.
When they found that there were only three members in the house -- two women and 17-year-old Himanshu -- they took out knives and tied the boy with a rope to make sure that he did not offer any resistance.
On knife-point, they then snatched two gold rings and a gold chain from Himanshu, and three gold rings, a pair of earrings and a gold chain from his grandmother.
After looting them, while one kept the knife on Himanshu's neck and threatened to kill him if he raised his voice, the other entered their tenant's room where and looted cash and jewellery from there too.
While they broke open the locks of an almirah in the house, the tenant's minor daughter went to the rooftop and raised an alarm, police said, quoting the victims.
When the girl raised the alarm, the robbers fled the house and melted into the nearby lanes.
Police said they had registered a case in this connection under section 392 of RPC and were very close to solve the mystery behind the decoity. |
