Four youths forcibly gained entry at businessman Yogesh Bang’s flat and made away with cash, ornaments worth Rs 7 lakh.

The incident took place in the evening while Bang, who owned a furniture business had been to his office and his son had gone at his friend’s place. Bang’s wife Karuna was alone at home when four youths knocked the door.
