SAMBALPUR: Showing scant regard for policing, a group of six unidentified miscreants held the family of an ex-army men hostage at gunpoint and looted gold jewellery and cash from their house in Sana Dumermunda village within Govindpur police limits in Sambalpur early on Friday.
The retired army man Saroj Kumar Naik was out of town when the incident took place. While Naik’s is a two-storey building, the top floor, is occupied by multiple tenants including a jeweller, engineer, teacher, and a supervisor residing in three single rooms.
The robbers broke into those rooms and forced the tenants there to hand over their jewellery, cash and mobile phones.
