Armed robbers who initially pretended to be patients in need of urgent medical help barged into a doctor's house here on Tuesday and fled with cash, jewellery and other valueables worth lakhs of rupees, police said.
The incident occurred at the Vasundhara residential locality when four men reached the residence-cum-clinic of neurologist Neeraj Agrawal and told the receptionist that they needed to see him.
As the receptionist asked them to wait, they quickly scaled the staircase and barged into the first floor residence where the doctor, his wife and mother live.
They overpowered the doctor, put a pistol at his head and told his wife to surrender all the valuables -- which she did.
Within 15 minutes, they fled after bolting the house from outside. The frightened receptionist then phoned the police.
"Raids are being conducted to nab the criminals," Inspector Sushil Kumar Dubey told IANS.
