Two robbers break grille, hold knife to elderly couple in Mauli Nagar, flee with gold and cash

A robbery has been reported from the Mauli Nagar area on Amravati Road. Two unidentified robbers broke the grille of a house's hall, entered, and threatened an elderly couple with a knife. They then fled with gold jewellery and cash, valued at about Rs 3.35 lakh. Residents of the area are living in fear after the incident.

According to the information available, the house belongs to Mangesh Ord, a resident of Shirajgaon Ardak in Chandur Bazar tehsil, who built it in Mauli Nagar a few years ago. His father-in-law, Nana Pundlikrao Karale, 65, has been staying here with his daughter and son-in-law for the past two months.

On the night of the incident, Mangesh Ord and his wife went to their village after dinner. Only Nana Karale and his wife, the elderly couple, were at home. Taking advantage of this, the two robbers broke the hall grille and got in. They scared the couple with a knife and took the gold jewellery kept in a cupboard.

The stolen items include two mangalsutras of 30 grams each, two gold bands of 20 grams each, two gold bangles of 20 grams each, and Rs 5,000 in cash.

Chandur Bazar police have registered a case against the unidentified robbers on the basis of a complaint. Police station officer Adharsingh Sonawane and API Prem Kedar visited the spot and investigated. Two police teams have been sent out to trace the robbers. A dog squad and fingerprint experts were also called to the spot. The sub-divisional police officer, Garud, also inspected the scene. Police are investigating further.
