Nagpur News: Armed dacoits barged into a house of a retired employee of Navy in Nagpur in the wee hours of Monday and attacked the husband, wife and their 21 year old son before decamping with valuables and cash worth lakhs of rupees. The owner of the house Anwar Hussein, 55, resident of Zaripatka was fast asleep along with his wife Kaneez Haseena and son Shahrukh Hussein in their newly constructed bungalow near Gurunanak Pharmacy College in Zaripatka when the miscreants barged into their house between 3 to 4 am this morning.
Sources informed that the thieves first attacked Anwar and his wife with iron rod and sharp edged weapons. Hearing the commotion, Shahrukh who was sleeping in another room also woke up. The dacoits also attacked Shahrukh, injuring him grievously and fled away with the booty including cash and gold ornaments. The actual value of the articles looted is yet to be ascertained but it reportedly runs in lakhs of rupees.
When the neigbours could not hear any movements from their house, they peeped into the house and found all the three members of the family lying unconscious with blood stains around.
