After sneaking in, they put a pistol at the builder's wife Kusum's head, overpowered her younger son, snatched keys to an almirah and took out all valuables, including 1.70 lakh in cash and jewellery worth over 23 lakh, the family told police.

When the robbers were leaving the house, some neighbours spotted them and shouted for help but the four men opened fire in the air and fled on their two motorcycles.

"We have constituted teams to nab the criminals. We have taken sufficient leads from sniffer dogs and fingerprints have been lifted. We hope we shall work out the case soon," superintendent of police (city) A.K. Tripathi said.
