Ludhiana doctor couple looted of Rs 3.5 crore, jewellery by masked men at gunpoint

The incident took place on September 14 around 8.40 p.m. after the woman doctor arrived at her home and the watchman opened the main gate. Her husband was already home. She said that a few minutes later, four masked men barged inside by scaling the boundary wall. They held her husband and the watchman captive at gunpoint and tied them with tape. They had then taken her to the storeroom from where the accused had taken away cash and gold jewellery.

It came to light that the doctor couple hold authorisation from several countries, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand and England.

Ludhiana police commissioner Mandeep Singh Sidhu informed TOI, “The victims in their complaint had claimed that the accused robbed them of Rs 15 lakh cash and gold jewellery worth Rs 15 lakh. The police swung into action and formed different teams to trace the accused. We managed to solve the case in 96 hours and arrested all four accused who executed the robbery.”

“Cops recovered Rs 3.51 crore in cash. It is suspected that the victims did not share the actual amount because of the fear of the income tax department. We are also suspecting the involvement of an insider, who had information about the couple and a huge stock of cash in the house. The police are verifying the role of the current and former employees of the doctor couple,” Sidhu added.
