A horrific incident of robbery occurred in Gunat village near Shirur, about 75km from Pune city, on Monday. Four intruders broke into a farmer’s house around 2:30 am, severing the earlobes of a 48-year-old woman in a brutal attempt to remove her earrings.
The woman, who is still undergoing treatment in the hospital, required 15 stitches on her earlobes. The robbers made off with valuables worth Rs 65,000, including cash and gold jewelry.
According to the woman’s son, the family’s father had gone to Alandi on Sunday for the Kartiki Ekadashi Wari, leaving his mother and two sons at home. The son recounted the terrifying events of the robbery, saying, “Around 2 am, I woke up after hearing my mother’s screams. She was crying and calling me and my brother.”
When the sons tried to open the door, they found it locked from outside. After kicking the door, an unknown person outside abused and threatened them. The sons then opened the windows and called their cousins for help. When their relatives arrived, the suspects fled.
The victim’s son described the brutal treatment of his mother, saying, “The criminals literally cut my mother’s earlobes to remove her earrings. They also searched the cupboard and took a bag with Rs 3,000, some jewelry, and clothes.” The bag was later found in a nearby sugarcane farm, but the cash and jewelry were missing.
Senior Inspector Sandesh Kenjale of the Shirur police said to the media person that, “We have registered a case under Section 309 (robbery) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and have fanned out teams to trace the robbers.”
