Retired NSG assistant commandant robbed of jewellery at gunpoint in Delhi’s Chandni Chowk

“A man named Sunil knocked on his door and took his name. As soon as the door was opened, three armed men entered the house. They started searching the house for some documents,” a police officer said.

When the grandson resisted, one of the masked men took out a gun and tied the grandson’s hands before taping his mouth, the officer added.

The intruders then looted jewellery and precious stones worth Rs 50 lakh, while also taking $3,550. They also locked the family members in their kitchen before fleeing, he said. Once the thieves left, the family called their neighbours to get them out, the police said.

The police said they suspect someone known to the family could be involved in the crime. No one has been arrested as of now, the police said.

“The robbers knew the house inside out and the location of the jewellery. We are investigating all possible angles and examining the CCTV footage,” an officer said.

Bhimsen operated the jewellery business in the Kinaari Market area.
