Daijiworld Media Network - Bantwal (SP)

Bantwal, Oct 9: A gang which raided the residence of a woman who lives alone at Vittal Meginapete in the taluk, assaulted her, tied up her limbs and robbed her in the early hours of Friday, October 8.

Lalitha from Meginapte, Vittal, lives alone. The robbers came in from the front door, launched a murderous attack on the woman, gagged her and bound her hands and legs with ropes. They then searched the whole house for gold. After yanking away a silver chain found around her neck, the robbers left, duly locking the front door from outside.



The robbers got busy with their act when it rained heavily. The woman has suffered serious injuries to her face and chest. She has been admitted into the Vittal community health centre for treatment. Vittal police sub-inspector, Vinod Kumar Reddy and other personnel visited the spot. The policemen are checking the recording in the CCTV camera installed nearby for possible clues.

    The senior elderly lady, is lucky !! Normalcy criminals do not leave behind evidences !!! These rogues would have covered themselves, in order to avoid any detection !!! Gone are the days were houses even bungalows would be wide open..... remember cattle would be let loose at dawn, for grazing, they would all come back at sunset, unattended !!! The entire coastal belt Uttara and Dakshin Kannada district, have been run over, by outsiders... They have acquired land and agricultural properties at throw away prices... What is worse they have brought their ugly baggages, to pollute n destroy the serene, honest, way of life, that has been gifted to us by our ancestors..

    You never know for what reason the lady was attacked. But can come to some conclusion like we can see the compound is on the main road, there are huge buildings on the left and right side of the house. There are times when neighbors harass ladies who are staying alone to acquire the property. There is no mention about age of the victim.

    So many are jobless and finding ways to make easy money. Not safe for the elderly to live alone in these times. If someone is in that situation, better to keep the gold in safe locker of the bank and keep minimum cash. During night time go to a neighbours house for sleeping.
