An 80-Year-Old Man Foils Robbery Attack By Own Own Grandson

Ram Lal Miglani, culprit's grandpa.

An aged couple in Rohini were in for a shock when they identities of two helmeted robbers who attacked them in their house.

Trying to escape after the 80-year-old house owner dispossessed them of their weapon and raised an alarm, the duo was caught by neighbours. When their helmets were removed, one of the intruders turned out to be the grandson of the couple.

Rajat (21) knew that his grandfather, Ram Lal Miglani, had recently sold a property for Rs 50 lakh and kept the money in his house in H Block of Rohini Sector 7. The law student got his friend, Rishabh, a 22-year-old medical student, to help him in an audacious plan to rob his own grandparents.

On Saturday afternoon, Miglani, a retired manager of a private firm, was overseeing some electrical repairs and distractedly left the house entrance open. This was the chance the youths were looking for, and they quickly entered the house with a toy pistol and a hammer, their faces hidden by helmets.

Miglani's wife, 70-year-old Shakuntala, was cleaning the bedroom, when the duo attacked her with the hammer, smashing her teeth in the process. Miglani heard her feeble calls for help and ran to the bedroom. There he saw two men holding his wife at gunpoint.

After they asked Miglani to hand over the keys to the locker, the octogenarian bent down as if to pick something up. Instead, he lashed out hard at the hand of the youth holding the pistol.

As the robber dropped the weapon, Miglani raised an alarm. The security guard and a few neighbours heard the din, and their approach panicked the intruders, who tried to make a dash for freedom.

"One of the youths got on a white scooter and tried to ride away, but I was able to pin him to the ground," said Raghuraj Singh. The second youth, meanwhile, frantically tried to climb over another gate, but was apprehended.

The pair were first thrashed and then tied to the gate. When the crowd removed the helmets, Miglani was shocked to see that one of the men was Rajat.
