She distracted the thief by talking before snatching his gun, only to find the thief was no stranger

- Manish Kumar Pathak

MUMBAI: A Byculla homemaker overpowered a thief who barged into her tenth-floor apartment and demanded her valuables while holding her teenage daughter at gunpoint. The woman kept the burqa-clad thief engaged in conversation, claiming that all their valuables were in another apartment in the same building, while inching closer to him and then snatching his gun.

Police said that on hearing the commotion, neighbours rushed to the woman's aid and held the thief captive until they handed him over to the police. They were relieved to find the weapon he was carrying was a toy gun and, on removing his burqa, shocked to find that they all knew him!
