However, by this time, I called my hisband who was sleeping inside. The dacoits then told us to sit on the bed and make no moves. We were dumb struck with fear seeing the fire arm. They then ransacked the entire house. They broke my almirah and also searched the box of our main bed. They found my gold ornaments and took took them all. They also looted Rs.3.5 lakh cash.”
