Haryana Doctor robbed of Rs 15 lakh cash, jewellery by masked men at gunpoint
Haryana: A doctor from Haryana’s Sirsa was recently robbed at a private hospital by four armed men who allegedly stole Rs 15 lakh in cash and gold jewellery at gunpoint.
According to the
complaint filed by the doctor, the four-armed men came to the Jindal hospital
at 9 am on Monday. They asked the hospital attendant about the doctor’s
whereabouts. After being informed by the attendant that the doctor would come
at around 10 am, they asked for some cold water. But as it wasn’t available,
they asked for some ice, reports Hindustan Times.
The doctor’s family was
staying upstairs and when the attendant went upstairs for some ice, the robbers
followed him. The robbers held them, hostage, by pointing guns toward them.
They robbed 15 lakh cash and gold jewellery. “They took us hostage and robbed ₹15 lakh in cash and jewellery and fled the spot,” the doctor
added. The robbers locked the doctor and the attendant in the room and
fled the spot.
As per a recent media
report, Dabwali DSP Kishori Lal has stated that they
have formed various teams to arrest the accused and they have already been
identified. They said they had registered a robbery case against the four
accused.
A few days ago a similar
incident happened when a doctor was reportedly robbed of his cash and mobile phone
by a man and his accomplices whom he had initially connected with through an
application. The doctor alleged that he was lured to an isolated location by
the main suspect under the pretext that the man’s mother required urgent
medical attention. These kinds of incidents are raising concerns about the safety of doctors in the state.
