In a brazen robbery in the upscale Golf Links area of New Delhi, four family members, including an elderly couple and their grandchild, were held hostage by a group of five to six men. The assailants, allegedly led by the family's newly hired domestic help, entered the house on Thursday evening armed with sticks and house-breaking tools. They threatened the family and managed to steal gold jewelry worth ₹25-30 lakh (approximately $30,000-$36,000 USD) within 20-25 minutes. The domestic help, identified only as Sushil, was hired just five to six days prior to the incident, and police noted that no verification of his background was conducted. Despite being in a high-security area, the robbers fled the scene, prompting police to investigate and collect evidence, including CCTV footage. The family, owners of a liquor business, has not yet released a public statement regarding the incident.
