In a case of daylight robbery, two armed men allegedly broke into the house of an elderly couple at Sector 15-A in Faridabad city, tied them up, and made off with ₹1.85 lakh cash, gold and diamond jewellery, and a car on Thursday. According to the police, the crime occurred in the afternoon when Raghunandan Gandhi, 80, and his wife Vijaya Gandhi, 75, were alone at the residence of their elder son Ashish, a London-based doctor.

They tied the couple's hands, legs, and mouth, and threatened them with a sickle, demanding money and jewellery,' said a police officer. When the couple said that they did not keep cash in the house and all the jewellery was in a bank locker, the robbers searched the premises and took approximately ₹1.85 lakh in cash, two gold bangles, a diamond pendant, four pairs of diamond studs, and a guild ring, stated the First Information Report based on the complaint filed by the couple's younger son Amit Gandhi, 34, of DLF Sector 10. Before fleeing, the robbers allegedly stole the family's Santro car, the police said.
