The Story in Brief
A gang of armed robbers targeted a lawyer's home in a repeat attack, looting cash, gold jewellery, and valuables worth an estimated Rs 3.15 crore. The accused reportedly escaped with Rs 17-20 lakh in cash, 1.5-2 kg of gold jewellery, about 4 kg of silver ornaments, utensils, idols, a licensed revolver, and cartridges, according to an NDTV report. The same family had been robbed earlier by the same gang, who returned after the previous case remained unresolved.
The Indian Opinion
This gang had robbed the same family before and got away long enough to return. Home security in small towns is clearly failing if a lawyer's licensed revolver stays in a cupboard and gets stolen twice. The narrative of 'organised gangs targeting only judges' is one-sided; here the target is a legal professional. The real test is whether the police will trace the revolver licence or the jeweller records before the next loot. How many repeat robberies will it take to enforce mandatory registration of gold purchases?
