NEW DELHI:

The perpetrators not only assaulted the victim brutally but also looted Rs 7 lakh in cash and a mobile phone before fleeing the scene.

Despite having access to CCTV footage of the accused, local police have drawn criticism for allegedly detaining the victim instead of pursuing the assailants.

The victim, identified as Sambhav Khurana, was alone at home when the incident occurred.

According to his family, the accused knocked on the door claiming to be Delhi Police officers. Once inside, they overpowered Khurana, tied him up, and subjected him to a prolonged physical assault.

During the ordeal, the intruders demanded money and valuables, eventually making away with a substantial amount of cash and a mobile device.
