Hyderabad, March 22 : A woman and her daughter in Hyderabad showcased immense courage as they thwarted a robbery attempt at their home, even managing to disarm one of the criminals, according to police reports. Amita Mahnot and her minor daughter bravely resisted the robbery bid, seizing a country-made weapon from one of the offenders. The video capturing the incident, which unfolded within the jurisdiction of Begumpet police station on Thursday, quickly went viral on social media platforms.
Law enforcement officials revealed on Friday that they have apprehended the two robbers, both originating from Uttar Pradesh. Identified as Sushil Kumar and Premchandra, the perpetrators attempted to burglarize a family residence in Begumpet. Prior to their nefarious act, the duo meticulously planned the robbery and conducted reconnaissance of the targeted property. Sushil Kumar initiated contact with Mahnot, the homeowner, feigning a delivery under the guise of N.K. Jain. Seizing the opportunity when Mahnot’s servant descended to accept the purported courier, the masked assailants forcibly entered the premises.
While Premchandra menaced a maid with a knife in the kitchen, a scuffle ensued between Mahnot’s daughter and Sushil Kumar. Mahnot herself intervened, thwarting the robbery endeavor. Amidst the altercation, Sushil Kumar brandished a country-made firearm from his bag, attempting to intimidate the mother and daughter.
A police official disclosed that Mahnot, proficient in martial arts, retaliated by disarming Sushil Kumar with a swift kick, causing him to flee the scene. Unaware of the unfolding events outside, the second perpetrator was apprehended by neighbors who responded to the commotion. Authorities recovered various incriminating items from the accused, including ropes, firearms, ammunition, knives, and a gift box.
Sushil Kumar, a resident of Kanpur, and Premchadra, residing in M.S. Maqtha, were presented before a court, subsequently remanded to judicial custody. Deputy Commissioner of Police, North Zone, Rohini Priyadarshini, lauded the exemplary valor demonstrated by the mother and daughter. She emphasized that their courage and swift action not only thwarted the robbery attempt but also facilitated the apprehension of one of the culprits with community assistance.
In a special commendation, North Zone DCP Rohini Priyadarshini felicitated the courageous mother and daughter who bravely fought off armed robbers and successfully foiled a robbery attempt yesterday. Watch the video
