NEW DELHI: In yet another instance of criminals targeting helpless senior citizens in the city, at least three robbers posing as postmen reportedly struck at the residence of a 76-year-old woman in the upper middle class locality of Kalkaji on Saturday afternoon.
The victim, Ramola Majumdar, a housewife, told cops that she was held hostage at knife point, gagged and threatened before the accused ransacked the house and fled with cash and jewellery.
Majumdar was living alone in the N block for the past 10 days after her son Deepayan Majumder - an established events management company owner - had left for London and Paris on a business tour and was scheduled to return just before the Durga pujas beginning on October 20.
The southeast district police has registered a case of robbery in this regard and believe only an insider could have led such an attack.
"The incident resembles the C R Park case which we have just solved. Only a few people had knowledge that the lady was alone. We are questioning several people from Govindpuri in this regard. We expect early results,'' said additional commissioner of police (southeast) Ajay Chaudhry.
Robbers posed as postmen
"A person had knocked at her ground floor residence around 2pm, posing as a postman to deliver registry papers. Even as this person - who was not even covering his face -asked her to sign the document, he pushed her in,'' said Basudev Guha, a family friend who was one of the first to receive the victim's SOS call.
Two more persons standing behind this man came inside and started slapping and kicking her. "They forced her to hand over the keys of the almirahs. After thrashing her they tied her up in the kitchen and then ransacked the house. Around 3:15 pm, I got a call from my aunt and asking to rush to her residence," said Ranbir Bose, her nephew.
Police said that the victim showed enough resilience and finally managed to free her hands long after the robbers were gone. "She called up a friend of Deepayan and his wife who stay closest to her residence. When we reached the spot, we found clear marks of the woman trying to resist the robbers,'' said an officer. The cops said they were unsure if the part time maid had reported for work on Saturday. "We have two versions - one stating that she did not come today and another which said she had left after completing work around noon.
While the incident took place, the neighbours on first floor were clueless. "I came back from work at 2:45 pm but nothing seemed suspicious downstairs. There were noises as well. Its shocking to know about the incident," said Payal Sidana, who works with a private school as a teacher.
Ramola's relatives rushed her to the Holy Family hospital in Okhla where she was admitted to ICU. "Her condition is stable but since the robbers kicked her on the chest she is complaining breathing problem. Her CT scan report and X-ray report is fine. She is still nervous and needs some rest. We will keep her under observation for two more days," said one of the doctors at the hospital.
