In a brave act of courage, a woman in Maharashtra’s Palghar city successfully thwarted a robbery attempt at her home, injuring one of the intruders and leading to the arrest of one suspect, while the other managed to escape.
The incident took place on Monday evening when the woman and her husband had gone out for a routine evening stroll near a beach close to their residence. Upon returning home, they found two thieves inside their house, packing valuables, including gold jewellery. Surprised by the couple’s sudden arrival, the intruders attempted to flee, but one of them was caught by the woman.
Despite being attacked with a spanner, which struck her hand, the woman did not back down. She managed to hold on to the captured intruder and raised an alarm, calling for help from neighbours. Her quick thinking and bravery ensured that the intruder was restrained with the help of locals until the police arrived at the scene.
Meanwhile, the woman’s husband attempted to catch the second thief, but the suspect managed to escape before he could be apprehended.
Palghar police quickly responded to the situation after receiving a call from the locals. They took the 40-year-old intruder into custody, while the woman was provided with medical treatment for her injuries. Authorities confirmed that she is recovering from the attack.
A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed against the arrested thief under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for housebreaking, theft, and robbery. The police have launched a search to track down the second suspect who managed to flee the scene.
This incident highlights the woman’s bravery and the collective support of the local community in standing up against crime, ensuring that justice is served.
