Less than five days after a dacoity was reported from Hunsur near here, the police have managed to track down the accused and arrested six of them. Police said the accused rang the door-bell of complainant Gazala Tarannum’s house in Hunsur town around 7.15 p.m. on July 26. Soon after she opened the door, five unidentified persons forced their way inside the house and assaulted her and her parents with a knife while threatening to kill them. The accused stuffed their mouths with pieces of cloth to prevent them from raising an alarm. They took away ₹6 lakh in cash and gold valuables weighing around 500 grams, and a double-barrel breach loading (DBBL) gun.More Related News
