A shocking case hit the headlines recently!
Actress Alankrita Sahai, of Namaste England and Love Per Square Foot fame, was ROBBED of Rs 6.5 lakhs at KNIFEPOINT at her rented Chandigarh apartment!
As per Indian Express report, 3 masked intruders barged into her house (located on the 2nd floor of a 3-storey building) and held her hostage.
One of the guys then took her ATM card as well and returned after withdrawing Rs 50,000 while the others kept her restrained. Alankrita struggled and shouted for help but the robbers fled by jumping through the balcony to the 1st floor and then the ground. The report further said she locked herself in the bathroom.
The masked suspects were caught on the locality’s CCTV cameras though. The case is being investigated currently. Alankrita had recently bought furniture from Kharar which was delivered on Sunday. She had a heated argument with a delivery person back then and suspects that one of the intruders could have been them.
Senior police officer SP Ketan Bansal said, “The victim belongs to the film industry. She was alone in the house. The entry door was opened. The robbers forcibly entered and robbed the victim at knifepoint. We have registered a case and have important leads.”
Another source told the portal – “Sahai reported to the police that she had taken the flat on rent for her parents who stay in Delhi. They were scheduled to come here in two-three days. She reported that verbal arguments were exchanged between her and one of the persons, who came to deliver the furniture on Sunday.”
The police are now trying to verify who was sent to deliver the furniture.
