Meerut, May 12 -- Six masked miscreants struck at the residence of a brass trader and property dealer and allegedly looted Rs.1.20 crore and gold jewellery in Moradabad's Bangla Gaon area, considered one of the city's most secure localities. The incident took place around 3:30 am on Monday in Akbar Compound and was executed within 10 minutes. According to the police, the accused managed to open the main gate lock from outside. They reportedly climbed to the first floor by the staircase and held all six family members hostage at gunpoint. The victim, identified as Imran, told police that he had arranged Rs.1.20 crore for the registration of a property scheduled for Monday and had kept the money at home. The robbers allegedly questioned the family specifically about the cash before seizing it. They also escaped with around six to seven tolas of gold jewellery belonging to Imran's wife. Police said Imran was sleeping in one room with his elder son Arif, while his wife, Seema and younger son, Arkan, were sleeping in another room. His daughters, Areeba and Areena, were sleeping in a third room when the robbers struck. The masked men allegedly took control of the family at gunpoint and gathered everyone in one room before carrying out the robbery. After collecting the cash and jewellery, the robbers attempted to lock the family inside and flee the scene. However, Imran's son Arif reportedly prevented the room door from being shut completely and chased the accused for a considerable distance. The family later alerted the police. Senior police officials and forensic experts reached the spot soon after the incident and began an investigation. SP city Kumar Ranvijay Singh said the robbers also took away the DVR connected to the CCTV system. "Police are now scanning CCTV footage from nearby houses and establishments to trace the suspects and reconstruct the sequence of events," Kumar said....
