New Delhi : A retired scientist and his elderly wife were held at gunpoint and robbed of cash and jewellery worth around ₹2 crore at their residence in Prashant Vihar, Rohini. The police said the incident occurred on Friday afternoon when two men posing as courier delivery agents entered the house.
The victims, Shibu Singh and his wife Nirmala, were alone at their F Block home when the assailants forced their way inside. The intruders held the couple hostage at gunpoint, and when Singh resisted, they assaulted him.
