He told the police that 4 to 5 people entered the house at around 2 to 3 am. He woke up when the front door broke open. He saw all the miscreants standing with weapons.
Before he could say anything, one of them put a knife at his neck. Thereafter, he smelt something sprayed to him, with whose effect, he fainted. Two and a half lakh rupees cash and jewelery are missing from the house.
The Bilkhiria police say that the number of accused was four. The amount taken from the house is not yet known. The statements of the family members are being recorded. The amount will be known only after taking the statement.
Ravi told police that he tried to oppose the robbery, but he was administered some spray.
