Chandigarh: Elderly woman looted of gold, cash at gunpoint

Hindustan Times  

An 82-year-old woman was held hostage at “gunpoint” in her first-floor flat and robbed of gold jewellery worth ₹40 lakh besides ₹35,000 cash in the Sector 27 market of Chandigarh early on Tuesday. Police said four masked men barged into SCF number 1, where Raksha Sharma lives alone, at 3.10am and robbed her at “gunpoint”. It took the robbers half-an-hour to ransack the house and flee with the jewellery and the cash after restraining the elderly woman, who later reported the incident to the police. A team of the Chandigarh Police and the Central Forensic Science Laboratory gathered evidence, including sharp-edged weapons, left behind by the robbers.
